Three-Wheeler sales month by month, Q1 FY 2026-27
India's three-wheeler market registered 3,49,987 three-wheelers in Q1 FY 2026-27. Volumes rose 11.4% against the 3,14,038 logged over the same 3 months of Q1 FY 2025-26.

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.
