According to a VNA reporter in China, on December 5, China officially put into operation the entire Nanning-Pingxiang high-speed railway, after completing the final section from Chongzuo to Pingxiang.

This is a strategic traffic route close to the Vietnam border, expected to strongly enhance trade, logistics and tourism activities between the two countries.

China National Railway Corporation said that this high-speed railway line consists of two sections, Nanning-Chongzuo (put into operation from 2022) and Chongzuo-Pingxiang section, 81km long, designed with a maximum speed of 250km/h, completed construction and put into use from December 5.

When the entire route is put into operation, travel time from Nanning to the border city of Pingxiang will be only about 75 minutes, nearly 3 hours shorter than the current regular train.

The opening of the route creates a high-speed transport axis connecting directly from the center of Guangxi Zhuang Autonomous Region to the Friendship Guan-Pingxiang border gate, adjacent to the Friendship-Lang Son border gate of Vietnam.

This expressway will strongly promote border trade, cross-border tourism and supply chain activities between Vietnam and China; create favorable conditions for businesses and tourists, and increase infrastructure connectivity between ASEAN and China in the coming time.

Pingxiang (Bằng Tường in Vietnamese) is a small town (by Chinese standard) and located only 10 km from Vietnam's border gate of Hữu Nghị Quan, near Đồng Đăng. The project to build a new (probably semi high speed) railway from Hanoi to Đồng Đăng to connect to Pingxiang will start before 2030.

VinFast plans to invest $500m in India as the Vietnamese carmaker moves to scale up its manufacturing base and extend its range beyond electric cars.

The planned outlay is aimed at adding production capacity for electric buses, e‑scooters and charging infrastructure, the company said in a statement.

The government of Tamil Nadu in southern India will provide around 200 hectares (494 acres) of land next to VinFast’s existing facility in Thoothukudi to support the expansion.

According to the company, the additional space will be used to build “new dedicated workshops and production lines for electric buses and e-scooters, covering manufacturing, assembly, testing and other related operations.”

VinFast’s Thoothukudi plant, which began operations in July, currently has capacity to produce 50,000 cars a year.

The firm intends to lift annual output to 150,000 units within a year and then double that figure over the following three years.

The automaker said it delivered 97,399 electric vehicles worldwide in 2024 and is targeting a twofold increase in deliveries this year.

In the Indian market, VinFast opened its first showroom in July and is working towards a network of 35 outlets across 27 cities by December.

The Thoothukudi facility is VinFast’s third manufacturing plant and its first outside Vietnam.

The company’s statement noted that the Tamil Nadu government will support the project by easing approvals and helping establish core utilities including power and waste management systems.

Vingroup Asia CEO and VinFast Asia CEO Pham Sanh Chau said: “The proposed expansion of the Tamil Nadu plant will enable us to broaden our product lineup in India, from electric cars to electric buses and e-scooters, allowing us to meet a wider range of customer needs.

“We also expect this initiative to create new job opportunities, advance localization and strengthen the skills of the local workforce. VinFast believes that Tamil Nadu will continue to serve as a strategic hub in our global expansion journey and will play an important role in supporting India’s green mobility goals in the years ahead.”
