Chandigarh Vehicle Registrations March 2026: 4,946 Units, +17.2% YoY

4,946 vehicles were registered in Chandigarh in March 2026. Volume pushed ahead 17.2% against March 2025 and rose sharply 22.0% against February. Its best month on record remains October 2024 at 6,922.

That made Chandigarh the 25th largest vehicle market in India in March 2026, behind Puducherry on 7,743 and ahead of Tripura on 4,845.

That is 0.2% of every vehicle registered in the country that month, −0.01pp against March 2025.

Across 2026 to date — the 3 months of the year that have closed — Chandigarh has registered 13,827 vehicles, +19.0% on the same months of 2025.

51.0% of everything registered in Chandigarh in 2026 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 0.1% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Chandigarh skews towards cars and UVs — +26.62pp 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 2026 rather than March 2026 alone. It holds no manufacturer-by-state table either, which is why no page here says which brand leads in Chandigarh.

11.6% of Chandigarh's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 5,729 vehicles, against a national average of 10.6%. A year earlier the state was at 10.2%. CNG and LPG account for 2.2% here against 5.5% 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.

Registrations by state for March 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.

The last 15 months on record for Chandigarh. The running month is left without a year-on-year figure.
