Maharashtra Vehicle Registrations October 2026: 3,72,387 Units, −17.1% YoY

3,72,387 vehicles were registered in Maharashtra in October 2026. Volume fell 17.1% against October 2025 and grew strongly 23.0% against September. Its best month on record remains October 2025 at 4,48,932.

That made Maharashtra the largest vehicle market in India in October 2026, ahead of Uttar Pradesh on 3,67,147.

That is 11.6% of every vehicle registered in the country that month, +0.87pp against October 2025.

Across 2026 to date — the 10 months of the year that have closed — Maharashtra has registered 29,83,111 vehicles, +14.2% on the same months of 2025.

71.7% of everything registered in Maharashtra in 2026 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 11.1% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Maharashtra skews towards cars and UVs — +1.28pp 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 Maharashtra.

11.0% of Maharashtra's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 3,44,500 vehicles, against a national average of 10.6%. A year earlier the state was at 8.1%. CNG and LPG account for 8.7% 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 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 Maharashtra. The running month is left without a year-on-year figure.
