Jharkhand Vehicle Registrations January 2026: 58,162 Units, +23.5% YoY

58,162 vehicles were registered in Jharkhand in January 2026. Volume rose sharply 23.5% against January 2025 and climbed sharply 25.0% against December. Its best month on record remains October 2025 at 1,15,176.

That made Jharkhand the 18th largest vehicle market in India in January 2026, behind Andhra Pradesh on 71,547 and ahead of Assam on 54,174.

That is 2.0% of every vehicle registered in the country that month, +0.09pp against January 2025.

Across 2026 to date — the 1 months of the year that have closed — Jharkhand has registered 58,162 vehicles, +23.5% on the same months of 2025.

77.1% of everything registered in Jharkhand in 2026 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 2.4% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Jharkhand skews towards two-wheelers — +5.93pp 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 January 2026 alone. It holds no manufacturer-by-state table either, which is why no page here says which brand leads in Jharkhand.

6.8% of Jharkhand's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 42,599 vehicles, against a national average of 10.6%. A year earlier the state was at 5.0%. CNG and LPG account for 2.3% 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 January 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 Jharkhand. The running month is left without a year-on-year figure.
