HANOI (Reuters) - Vietnam's biggest conglomerate Vingroup said on Sunday it had started building a $174 million battery cell plant for its VinFast electric vehicles business so the company can own its battery supply chain.

The battery plant, Vietnam's first EV battery project is located in central province of Ha Tinh, on a 8-hectare plot. "This is in the focus of VinFast's localisation strategy of supply," said Thai Thi Thanh Hai, vice chair of Vingroup and vice-chair of the board of VinFast.The company said it is looking to produce 100,000 battery packs per year in a first phase and then upgrade its capacity to one million.
