What commercial vehicles run on

Vahan splits a segment by fuel only across a whole calendar year, so this table covers full-year 2024 rather than Q1 FY 2024-25 alone — it is exact for that window.

Diesel accounts for 81.3% of commercial vehicle registrations over full-year 2024, with battery-electric at 1.1%.

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.
