Is a major shake-up coming to India's ride-hailing industry?

Reports suggest that Vietnam-based EV powerhouse, VinFast, is gearing up to launch its electric cab service, Green SM, in India.

The buzz is all about their potential pricing, rumored to be as low as ₹8 per km, which could pose a serious challenge to established players like Ola and Uber.

Unlike current aggregators, VinFast plans to operate with its own fleet of electric vehicles and salaried drivers, aiming to provide a premium yet affordable and sustainable mobility experience.

What we know so far:

> Fleet: Expected to utilize purpose-built electric vehicles (like the Limo Green MPV).

> Strategy: Targeting Delhi-NCR for the initial rollout, with plans for rapid expansion.

> Impact: A potential shift from petrol/CNG to a 100% electric cab ecosystem.

While official confirmation on pricing and launch dates is still pending, this move could trigger a new "cab war" that benefits commuters with better rates and cleaner rides.

Do you think a ₹8/km price point is sustainable for electric cabs in India?

And would you switch from Ola/Uber to a new EV-exclusive service?
