Vietnam’s leading conglomerate Vingroup has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the Government of Tamil Nadu to establish a framework for cooperation in exploring and developing strategic investment opportunities in the state. The agreement marks a significant step in Vingroup’s plan to expand its multi-sector ecosystem in India, with Tamil Nadu emerging as a key focus market.
Under the MoU, Vingroup and the Government of Tamil Nadu, through Guidance, the state’s investment promotion agency, will jointly study potential collaborations across priority sectors aligned with Tamil Nadu’s vision for sustainable development, green mobility, and inclusive growth.
Focus on Tourism, Hospitality and Green Mobility
In the tourism and entertainment sector, Vingroup plans to study the development of an international-standard theme park, zoo, and safari complex under its VinWonders brand. The proposed project, based on a semi-wildlife zoo model, aims to enhance Tamil Nadu’s tourism competitiveness, attract domestic and international visitors, and generate significant direct and indirect employment for local communities.
In premium hospitality, the Group will explore investment opportunities for a five-star resort under the Vinpearl brand. The project is expected to strengthen the state’s high-end tourism ecosystem and cater to the growing demand for premium travel and leisure experiences.
Green mobility is another major area of cooperation. The two sides will jointly study the deployment of electric mobility solutions, including a large-scale electric taxi model using Made-in-India electric vehicles operated by GSM, the electric taxi service founded by Vingroup Chairman Pham Nhat Vuong.
State Support and Facilitation
The Government of Tamil Nadu may support Vingroup by identifying suitable locations for proposed projects, coordinating planning and project structuring, facilitating licensing procedures, considering incentives under existing policies, and working with relevant agencies to ensure the required connectivity and infrastructure for future implementation. Agencies such as SIPCOT are expected to play a supporting role in the process.
Leadership Perspective
Commenting on the development, Pham Sanh Chau, Chief Executive Officer of Vingroup Asia, said the MoU reinforces Vingroup’s long-term and consistent approach to India. He expressed appreciation to the Honorable Chief Minister of Tamil Nadu and state authorities, particularly Guidance and SIPCOT, for their continued support and cooperation. He added that Vingroup aims to leverage its experience in delivering large-scale projects in tourism, service infrastructure, and electric mobility to create meaningful socio-economic value for local communities.
Expanding Presence in India
Vingroup is Vietnam’s largest private multi-sector corporation, operating across six core pillars—Industrials & Technology, Real Estate & Services, Infrastructure, Green Energy, Culture, and Social Enterprises—with the vision of creating a better life for people. India is among the Group’s top priority markets as it expands its global footprint.

At the same time, VinFast, a member of the Group, is expanding its presence in India by developing a comprehensive electric vehicle ecosystem. Together, these initiatives reflect Vingroup’s well-defined and long-term investment strategy, while strengthening economic cooperation between Vietnam and India and paving the way for large-scale future investments.
