October so far
India's electric-vehicle market has registered 406 vehicles in October 2026 so far. This page updates every day as the numbers land.
For scale, September finished at 3,33,336 and October 2025 at 2,44,893. The running total is 0.2% of last October's final figure.
Across the 9 completed months of 2026, 25,32,874 EVs have been registered, +51.6% on the same stretch of 2025.
Registrations reach Vahan a few days after the sale, so the running total climbs through the month and for a few days after it closes. 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.

More from the reports desk
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.
