Himachal Pradesh Vehicle Registrations October 2026: 626 So Far

Live. October 2026 is still in progress — this page updates every day as new registrations are published.
Himachal Pradesh in October 2026
626 vehicles have been registered in Himachal Pradesh so far in October 2026. The figure is a running total and rises every day as Vahan publishes registrations, which is why it is not set against a finished month here. September finished at 13,287, and October 2025 at 13,851.
That made Himachal Pradesh the 21st largest vehicle market in India in October 2026, behind Uttarakhand on 784 and ahead of Jammu & Kashmir on 543.
That is 0.7% of every vehicle registered in the country in the month so far.
Across 2026 to date — the 9 months of the year that have closed — Himachal Pradesh has registered 1,24,788 vehicles, +20.1% on the same months of 2025.
Himachal Pradesh monthly registrations
Every calendar year on record, month by month. The dashed end of the current year is the month so far.
What Himachal Pradesh buys
50.5% of everything registered in Himachal Pradesh in 2026 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 0.4% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Himachal Pradesh skews towards cars and UVs — +18.87pp more of its book than India as a whole.
This split is the calendar year to date. Vahan publishes a state's registrations by month, and a state's registrations by vehicle class, but never the two together — so the volumes here cover 2026 rather than October 2026 alone. There is no manufacturer-by-state table anywhere in the source, which is why no page here claims to know which brand leads in Himachal Pradesh.
Himachal Pradesh by segment, 2026

"Share of segment" is this state against every other state in the same segment. "vs national mix" is how much more (or less) of this state's book the segment is than it is of India's.
What Himachal Pradesh runs on
1.7% of Himachal Pradesh's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 2,187 vehicles, against a national average of 10.7%. A year earlier the state was at 1.2%. CNG and LPG account for 0.6% 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 | 99,111 | 79.0% | 71.4% | −2.50pp |
| Diesel | 18,376 | 14.7% | 10.6% | +0.95pp |
| CNG / LPG | 748 | 0.6% | 5.6% | +0.10pp |
| Electric | 2,187 | 1.7% | 10.7% | +0.56pp |
| Hybrid | 4,992 | 4.0% | 1.4% | +0.89pp |

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.
