Goa Vehicle Registrations May 2026: 6,348 Units, +28.9% YoY
Full Vahan registration report for Goa in May 2026 — a market where cars and UVs are 25% of registrations against 15% nationally in 2026 so far — total volume, year-on-year and month-on-month change, where the state ranks nationally, and the segment and fuel mix behind the number.

Goa monthly registrations
Every calendar year on record, month by month. The dashed end of the current year is the month so far.
What Goa buys
68.1% of everything registered in Goa in 2026 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 0.3% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Goa skews towards cars and UVs — +9.87pp more of its book than India as a whole.
This split is the calendar year to date. Our Vahan data holds a state's registrations by month, and a state's registrations by vehicle class, but not the two together — so the volumes here cover 2026 rather than May 2026 alone. It holds no manufacturer-by-state table either, which is why no page here says which brand leads in Goa.

What Goa runs on
14.5% of Goa's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 10,790 vehicles, against a national average of 10.7%. A year earlier the state was at 10.8%. CNG and LPG account for 1.6% here against 5.6% nationally.
Fuel, like segment, is published against the state for the whole calendar year rather than by month, so these shares are 2026 to date. Hybrids are counted separately from battery electrics.
| Fuel | 2026 units | Share in state | Share in India | vs 2025 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 55,329 | 74.2% | 71.4% | −3.71pp |
| Diesel | 4,387 | 5.9% | 10.5% | −0.13pp |
| CNG / LPG | 1,208 | 1.6% | 5.6% | +0.14pp |
| Electric | 10,790 | 14.5% | 10.7% | +3.63pp |
| Hybrid | 2,802 | 3.8% | 1.4% | +0.05pp |
| Other | 11 | 0.0% | 0.3% | +0.01pp |
Every state, May 2026

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. Information only, not investment advice.
