Full Vahan registration report for West Bengal in February 2026 — total volume, year-on-year and month-on-month change, where the state ranks nationally, and the segment and fuel mix behind the number.
West Bengal in February 2026

West Bengal monthly registrations
Every calendar year on record, month by month. The running month is left off the line until it closes.
What West Bengal buys
76.4% of everything registered in West Bengal in 2026 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 4.7% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, West Bengal skews towards two-wheelers — +5.64pp 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 February 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 West Bengal.

What West Bengal runs on
11.9% of West Bengal's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 1,12,141 vehicles, against a national average of 10.4%. A year earlier the state was at 7.8%. CNG and LPG account for 1.7% 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 | 7,47,322 | 79.4% | 71.7% | −4.24pp |
| Diesel | 57,403 | 6.1% | 10.6% | +0.24pp |
| CNG / LPG | 16,422 | 1.7% | 5.6% | −0.16pp |
| Electric | 1,12,141 | 11.9% | 10.4% | +4.06pp |
| Hybrid | 7,913 | 0.8% | 1.4% | +0.07pp |
| Other | 317 | 0.0% | 0.3% | +0.02pp |
Every state, February 2026
Registrations by state for February 2026, exact and directly comparable — this is the one state table on the desk that has a real month axis behind it, so the year-on-year column compares the same month a year earlier rather than a part year against a whole one.

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.
