What counts as an EV in Vahan data?
This page counts battery EVs only — the Vahan fuel categories PURE EV and ELECTRIC(BOV). Hybrids (strong hybrid + plug-in) are tracked separately: 90,182 units in 2026 YTD. This matches how the EV industry reports monthly Vahan sales.
How current is this EV sales data?
The data is refreshed daily from the government Vahan dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in). Registrations for the current month keep accumulating for a few days after month-end, so the latest month can read low initially.
More Vahan insights

Methodology & source. All figures are vehicle registrations scraped daily from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) — the same source used by FADA and industry trackers. Registrations differ from the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce. Telangana and Lakshadweep are not on Vahan 4 and are excluded. The current month is partial until a few days after month-end. "EV" means battery EVs (Vahan fuels PURE EV + ELECTRIC(BOV)); hybrids are counted separately. Figures may be revised by RTOs.
