Commercial Vehicle sales month by month, H2 FY 2026-27

India's commercial-vehicle market registered 1,07,662 commercial vehicles in H2 FY 2026-27 so far. Volumes ticked lower 3.9% against the 1,12,060 logged over the same month of H2 FY 2025-26.

October is the festive peak. Navratri and Diwali make it the single biggest registration month of most years, so year-on-year comparisons swing on where the festivals fall.

H2 FY 2026-27 still has 5 months to run. Held at the pace of the 1 months already counted, it would finish near 6.46 L commercial vehicles — a run rate rather than a forecast, and the festive quarter moves it more than anything else on this page.

Commercial vehicles accounted for 3.5% of everything registered in India over the period, up from 2.7% in H2 FY 2025-26. The whole market ran to 30,33,135 vehicles over the same window, down 27.3% year on year.

What will full-year H2 FY 2026-27 commercial vehicle sales be?

Are these retail sales or factory dispatches?
Retail. Every figure is a vehicle registration recorded on the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard — the same source FADA uses — not the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce each month. Registrations reach Vahan a few days after the sale, so recent months keep rising slightly for a while after they close.
