VinFast is currently in talks with the Adani Group and Megha Engineering for potential chances of joint venture. The Vietnamese electric car company VinFast is currently holding separate discussions with the Adani Group and the Hyderabad-headquartered Megha Engineering and Infrastructure to look for potential opportunities for partnership before launching its car. However, the company is still undecided on its decision to participate in the Government’s new EV policy. Once the JV becomes successful, VinFast will be able to extend its presence in the Indian EV market. Our country’s EV network will also strengthen.
Adani To Form JV With VinFast:
As per recent news, VinFast has already initiated conversations for a potential partnership with Megha Engineering and the Adani Group. The company is currently in the process of setting up a factory in Tamil Nadu and it is looking forward to raising a part of the capital through a local partner. The company also believes that by partnering with a local partner, it will be able to navigate the regulatory environment and relationships. An initial investment worth 500 million USD is going to be made on this project.
The partnership is also going to help VinFast in the development of a cost-effective supplier base. It is also going to help the local partner in further extending its expertise in the vehicle and automobile manufacturing sector. India’s economy is also going to experience a massive boost. However, not much headway has been made so far on the plant. No concrete decision has been taken yet. Each of the companies is currently exploring the potential of becoming a part of the joint venture.
VinFast’s Current Plans for The EV Sector:
At present, VinFast has plans to roll out electric cars from the factory in Tamil Nadu in 2025. The company also plans to showcase its vehicle at the Bharat Mobility Expo early next year. VinFast has not yet given any official statement about the joint partnership. However, the spokesperson from the company has mentioned that VinFast continues to explore the potential for collaboration across countries where it operates as a global company. The company wishes to further expand its hold over its business sector.
VinFast Engineering is currently making buses under the Olectra brand name. It has obtained technical support from China’s largest electric vehicle maker BYD. It also has a factory for making buses on the outskirts of Hyderabad. However, its attempt to form a JV with BYD, where the Chinese company wanted to make investments worth 1 billion USD in India, was not approved by the government. As per recent news, the VinFast officials have also contacted the Adani Group for potential chances for the joint venture.
By entering into a JV with VinFast, the Adani Group will be able to further establish its presence in the EV sector. The business group will also be able to navigate the controversies of the Adani SEBI investigation and earn enhanced revenue from its business.
