VinFast has introduced a new incentive programme aimed at encouraging customers to move from conventional petrol or diesel vehicles to electric mobility. Under the company’s “Trade Gas for Electric” initiative, buyers upgrading from an internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicle to one of VinFast’s electric SUVs can receive a 3 percent VinFast EV Discount on the purchase price.
The VinFast EV Discount benefit currently applies to the VinFast VF6 and VF7, the two electric SUVs offered by the Vietnamese EV manufacturer in the Indian market.

VinFast EV Discount For ICE Vehicle Owners
The offer specifically targets customers replacing an existing petrol or diesel vehicle with a VinFast electric model. By switching to an EV through the programme, buyers can receive a 3 percent price reduction on the selected vehicle.
Based on current prices, the discount could translate to savings of up to ₹57,570 on the VF6 and ₹80,370 on the VF7. The company has not confirmed an end date for the programme but has indicated that its duration may depend on global fuel price trends and market conditions.
Additional Exchange And Loyalty Benefits
Apart from the ICE upgrade discount, VinFast is also providing several other ownership benefits to strengthen its value proposition in India.
Customers may receive exchange bonuses and loyalty benefits, along with additional incentives introduced earlier this year. In February 2026, the company launched its Value Assured programme, which provides benefits of up to ₹1.30 lakh for customers trading in a petrol or diesel vehicle for a VinFast electric SUV.
Another key highlight of the programme is a company-backed buyback scheme, offering an assured resale value of up to 75 percent of the vehicle’s ex-showroom price depending on the ownership period.
The buyback plans currently range from two to five years, allowing customers to choose flexible ownership options.
Current VinFast EV Line-up In India
VinFast’s current Indian portfolio consists of two electric SUVs: the VF6 and VF7.
The VF6 is priced between ₹17.29 lakh and ₹19.19 lakh (ex-showroom) and is positioned as the brand’s entry-level electric SUV. Meanwhile, the VF7 sits higher in the lineup with prices ranging from ₹21.89 lakh to ₹26.79 lakh (ex-showroom).
Both SUVs are offered with a 59.6 kWh battery pack, while the VF7 additionally receives a larger 70 kWh battery option.

In terms of driving range, the VF6 delivers an ARAI-claimed range of up to 468 km, while the larger VF7 offers up to 532 km depending on the battery configuration.
These figures place both models competitively within the mid-size electric SUV segment in India.

What This Means For Buyers
As fuel prices remain volatile in global markets, such programmes are increasingly being used by automakers to attract customers toward electric vehicles. Incentives like trade-in discounts and buyback guarantees may help reduce concerns related to upfront costs and long-term resale value.
Conclusion
VinFast EV Discount programme highlights the company’s strategy to encourage petrol and diesel vehicle owners to transition toward electric mobility.
With additional benefits like exchange bonuses and assured buyback options, the offer is designed to make the VF6 and VF7 more accessible for buyers considering an EV upgrade.
