Uttar Pradesh Vehicle Registrations December 2025: 2,32,356 Units, −1.9% YoY
Full Vahan registration report for Uttar Pradesh in December 2025 — the largest vehicle market in India, and one of the five largest car markets in 2025 — total volume, year-on-year and month-on-month change, where the state ranks nationally, and the segment and fuel mix behind the number.

Uttar Pradesh monthly registrations
Every calendar year on record, month by month. The dashed end of the current year is the month so far.
What Uttar Pradesh buys
74.3% of everything registered in Uttar Pradesh in 2025 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 14.5% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Uttar Pradesh skews towards three-wheelers — +2.89pp 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 2025 rather than December 2025 alone. It holds no manufacturer-by-state table either, which is why no page here says which brand leads in Uttar Pradesh.

What Uttar Pradesh runs on
9.9% of Uttar Pradesh's 2025 registrations are battery electric — 4,05,392 vehicles, against a national average of 8.0%. A year earlier the state was at 9.8%. CNG and LPG account for 5.0% here against 5.3% nationally.
Fuel, like segment, is published against the state for the whole calendar year rather than by month, so these shares are 2025 to date. Hybrids are counted separately from battery electrics.
| Fuel | 2025 units | Share in state | Share in India | vs 2024 |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Petrol | 31,44,389 | 76.7% | 75.0% | +0.20pp |

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.
