Vehicle Registration November 2020

The all-India vehicle registration data for the month of November 2020 shows that the Passenger Vehicle (PV) segment has recovered well to post a 4.17 percent growth in registrations year-over-year (YoY).

In all, 2.91 lakh 4-wheelers were registered last month, while during the same period last year, the number was 2.79 lakhs. New launches and especially compact SUV’s continued to show good demand in the PV segment.

But the same cannot be said of 2-wheeler registrations, for the segment faced a massive dip, losing about 21 percent registrations YoY.

With close to 18 lakh registrations made in November 2019, only 14,13,378 2-wheelers were registered in November this year. Also, customers now prefer 125cc 2-wheelers to 100cc ones.

With 3-wheelers (-64.98 percent) and Commercial Vehicles (CV) (-31.22 percent), the situation is quite similar, which shows that there is clearly work to do by the industry and the government together. On a positive note, tractor registrations grew by nearly 8.5 percent.

In all, 18,27,990 registrations were made this year, which is down by 19.29 percent YoY. However, in comparison with October 2020, the number of registrations in November were up by 29.32 percent.
