Uttar Pradesh Vehicle Registrations May 2026: 4,11,738 Units, +0.8% YoY

4,11,738 vehicles were registered in Uttar Pradesh in May 2026. Volume held steady (+0.8%) against May 2025 and eased 1.6% against April. Its best month on record remains October 2025 at 6,11,361.

That made Uttar Pradesh the largest vehicle market in India in May 2026, ahead of Maharashtra on 2,52,946.

That is 16.0% of every vehicle registered in the country that month, −1.66pp against May 2025.

Across 2026 to date — the 5 months of the year that have closed — Uttar Pradesh has registered 19,01,708 vehicles, +10.4% on the same months of 2025.

72.8% of everything registered in Uttar Pradesh in 2026 is two-wheelers, and the state accounts for 13.3% of that segment nationally. Against the national mix, Uttar Pradesh skews towards three-wheelers — +2.75pp 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 May 2026 alone. It holds no manufacturer-by-state table either, which is why no page here says which brand leads in Uttar Pradesh.

11.3% of Uttar Pradesh's 2026 registrations are battery electric — 4,19,041 vehicles, against a national average of 10.6%. A year earlier the state was at 9.9%. CNG and LPG account for 5.8% 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 May 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 Uttar Pradesh. The running month is left without a year-on-year figure.
