Lakshadweep in October 2026
1 vehicles have been registered in Lakshadweep 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 42, and October 2025 at 39.
That made Lakshadweep the 36th largest vehicle market in India in October 2026, behind Ladakh on 15.
That is 0.0% 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 — Lakshadweep has registered 851 vehicles, +6.5% on the same months of 2025.
Lakshadweep monthly registrations
Every calendar year on record, month by month. The dashed end of the current year is the month so far.
What Lakshadweep buys
91.8% of everything registered in Lakshadweep in 2026 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 0.0% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Lakshadweep skews towards two-wheelers — +21.19pp 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 Lakshadweep.

What Lakshadweep runs on
8.7% of Lakshadweep's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 74 vehicles, against a national average of 10.7%. A year earlier the state was at 3.2%. CNG and LPG account for 0.2% 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 | 742 | 87.1% | 71.4% | −3.50pp |
| Diesel | 25 | 2.9% | 10.6% | −2.81pp |
| CNG / LPG | 2 | 0.2% | 5.6% | −0.06pp |
| Electric | 74 | 8.7% | 10.7% | +5.52pp |
| Hybrid | 9 | 1.1% | 1.4% | +0.86pp |

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.
