Every calendar year on record, month by month. The dashed end of the current year is the month so far.
What Nagaland buys
39.1% of everything registered in Nagaland in 2026 is goods carriers, and the state accounts for 1.1% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Nagaland skews towards goods carriers — +35.74pp 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 September 2026 alone. It holds no manufacturer-by-state table either, which is why no page here says which brand leads in Nagaland.

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.
