Vietnamese electric vehicle (EV) manufacturer Vinfast Auto is looking for sites to set up a manufacturing facility in India and has reviewed two locations in Tamil Nadu, a report said.
The team from Vinfast, which will start manufacturing EVs in 2021, visited sites in the Manalur region north of Chennai and Tuticorin, the state’s southernmost district, sources said.
The auto company is all set to evaluate plots in Gujarat soon, the report added. “VinFast is interested in Tamil Nadu and Gujarat as it needs a port. Tamil Nadu is an advantageous option for the company due to the state’s east-west connectivity,” the report quoted a source as saying.
