Which state has the most vehicle registrations in India?
Are all states covered in Vahan data?
How often is state-wise registration data updated?
Methodology & source. All figures are vehicle registrations scraped daily from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways' Vahan 4 dashboard (vahan.parivahan.gov.in) — the same source used by FADA and industry trackers. Registrations differ from the wholesale dispatch numbers manufacturers announce. Telangana and Lakshadweep are not on Vahan 4 and are excluded. The current month is partial until a few days after month-end. "EV" means battery EVs (Vahan fuels PURE EV + ELECTRIC(BOV)); hybrids are counted separately. Figures may be revised by RTOs.
