Madhya Pradesh monthly registrations
Every calendar year on record, month by month. The running month is left off the line until it closes.
What Madhya Pradesh buys
71.9% of everything registered in Madhya Pradesh in 2026 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 5.5% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Madhya Pradesh skews towards tractors — +3.85pp 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 April 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 Madhya Pradesh.

What Madhya Pradesh runs on
11.3% of Madhya Pradesh's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 1,31,135 vehicles, against a national average of 10.4%. A year earlier the state was at 8.2%. CNG and LPG account for 5.2% 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 | 8,00,082 | 68.8% | 71.7% | −5.52pp |

| Electric | 1,31,135 | 11.3% | 10.4% | +3.04pp |
| Hybrid | 8,514 | 0.7% | 1.4% | +0.09pp |
| Other | 343 | 0.0% | 0.3% | 0.00pp |
Every state, April 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.
