Ladakh Vehicle Registrations October 2026: 459 Units, +3.1% YoY

459 vehicles were registered in Ladakh in October 2026. Volume edged up 3.1% against October 2025 and fell 18.3% against September. Its best month on record remains June 2022 at 1,096.

That made Ladakh the 35th largest vehicle market in India in October 2026, behind Andaman & Nicobar Islands on 1,027 and ahead of Lakshadweep on 91.

That is 0.0% of every vehicle registered in the country that month, 0.00pp against October 2025.

Across 2026 to date — the 10 months of the year that have closed — Ladakh has registered 4,704 vehicles, +31.0% on the same months of 2025.

59.7% of everything registered in Ladakh in 2026 is cars and UVs, and the state accounts for 0.1% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Ladakh skews towards cars and UVs — +44.56pp 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 October 2026 alone. It holds no manufacturer-by-state table either, which is why no page here says which brand leads in Ladakh.

0.3% of Ladakh's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 13 vehicles, against a national average of 10.6%. A year earlier the state was at 0.1%.

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 October 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 Ladakh. The running month is left without a year-on-year figure.
