Full Vahan registration report for October 2024 — every major manufacturer ranked, with month-on-month and year-on-year change, segment share, fuel mix and the state-wise picture.
How October went
India's three-wheeler market registered 1,27,373 vehicles in October 2024. Volumes improved 11.4% against October 2023, and rose sharply 15.2% on September.
That is 22 consecutive months of year-on-year growth for the segment. Year to date, 10,54,657 units have been registered across 10 months, +12.5% on the same stretch of 2023 (9,37,267). The segment accounted for 4.3% of every vehicle registered in India that month.
October is the festive peak. Navratri and Diwali make it the single biggest registration month of most years, so year-on-year comparisons swing on where the festivals fall.

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.
