CNG Vehicle sales month by month, H1 FY 2026-27
India's CNG and LPG vehicle market registered 7,13,792 CNG vehicles in H1 FY 2026-27 so far. Volumes rose sharply 24.4% against the 5,73,888 logged over the same 5 months of H1 FY 2025-26.
July was the strongest month of the period at 1,50,641 CNG vehicles and May the quietest at 1,35,363, an average of 1,42,758 a month. Every one of those 5 months grew on the same month a year earlier.
July sits inside the monsoon, historically a soft month for urban showroom footfall and a strong one for farm equipment.
H1 FY 2026-27 still has 1 month to run. Held at the pace of the 5 months already counted, it would finish near 8.57 L CNG vehicles — a run rate rather than a forecast, and the festive quarter moves it more than anything else on this page.
CNG vehicles accounted for 5.5% of everything registered in India over the period, up from 5.2% in H1 FY 2025-26. The whole market ran to 1,29,87,306 vehicles over the same window, up 18.6% year on year.

Source. Every figure is a vehicle registration, taken daily from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) — the same source FADA and the industry use for retail data. Registrations are not the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month. "EV" means battery electric (Vahan fuels PURE EV and ELECTRIC(BOV)); hybrids are counted separately.
