Karnataka in November 2025

1,81,768 vehicles were registered in Karnataka in November 2025. Volume held steady (−0.4%) against November 2024 and tumbled 29.2% against October. Its best month on record remains October 2025 at 2,56,820.

That made Karnataka the 8th largest vehicle market in India in November 2025, behind Madhya Pradesh on 1,84,217 and ahead of West Bengal on 1,44,995.

That is 5.3% of every vehicle registered in the country that month, −0.17pp against November 2024.

Across 2025 to date — the 11 months of the year that have closed — Karnataka has registered 17,81,645 vehicles, +0.3% on the same months of 2024.

Karnataka monthly registrations

Every calendar year on record, month by month. The running month is left off the line until it closes.

What Karnataka buys

70.3% of everything registered in Karnataka in 2025 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 6.4% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Karnataka skews towards cars and UVs — +0.98pp 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 2025 rather than November 2025 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 Karnataka.

"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 Karnataka runs on

10.6% of Karnataka's 2025 registrations are battery electric — 2,03,705 vehicles, against a national average of 8.0%. A year earlier the state was at 9.5%. CNG and LPG account for 5.0% here against 5.3% nationally.

Fuel, like segment, is published against the state for the whole calendar year rather than by month, so these shares are 2025 to date. Hybrids are counted separately from battery electrics.

Every state, November 2025

Registrations by state for November 2025, exact and directly comparable — this is the one state table on the desk that has a real month axis behind it, so the year-on-year column compares the same month a year earlier rather than a part year against a whole one.

Frequently asked questions

How many vehicles were registered in Karnataka in November 2025?
1,81,768 vehicles were registered in Karnataka in November 2025, −0.4% against November 2024 and −29.2% against October. Across 2025 to date the total is 17,81,645, +0.3% on the same 11 months a year earlier.
Where does Karnataka rank among Indian states?
8th by vehicle registrations in November 2025, with 5.3% of every vehicle registered in India that month. Rankings here cover the 36 states and union territories that report to the Vahan 4 dashboard.
What kind of vehicles does Karnataka buy?
70.3% of Karnataka's 2025 registrations are two-wheelers. The split is published for the calendar year rather than by month, so it is a year-to-date figure.
What is the EV share in Karnataka?
10.6% of vehicles registered in Karnataka in 2025 are battery electric — 2,03,705 of 19,13,077.
Which manufacturer sells the most in Karnataka?
Vahan does not publish that. The dashboard gives registrations by state and registrations by manufacturer, but never the two crossed, so a manufacturer's volume inside a single state is not a figure that exists in the source. Anyone quoting one has estimated it.
Are these retail sales or factory dispatches?
Retail. Every figure is a vehicle registration recorded on the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard — a vehicle counts when a buyer registers it at an RTO in that state.

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.
