Mumbai witnessed strong festive vehicle demand during Diwali 2026, with more than 9,500 two-wheelers registered across major RTOs in the first ten days of November.

Diwali 2026 Drives Vehicle Sales in Mumbai

The festive season brought a significant boost to Mumbai's automobile market, as residents purchased thousands of new vehicles during the first ten days of November 2026. Diwali, considered an auspicious occasion for major purchases, encouraged many customers to buy vehicles and complete registrations around important festival dates.

According to Transport Department data, more than 9,500 two-wheelers were registered across Mumbai during the period. The figures highlight the strong demand for personal mobility, with two-wheelers accounting for a substantial share of festive vehicle registrations.

Among the city's Regional Transport Offices (RTOs), Wadala recorded the highest overall number of vehicle registrations between November 1 and 10.

Two-Wheelers Dominate Mumbai's Festive Vehicle Registrations

Two-wheelers emerged as the leading vehicle category during the festive period. Buyers continued to prefer motorcycles and scooters for their convenience, affordability and suitability for everyday travel in a busy metropolitan city.

The Wadala RTO registered a total of 3,538 vehicles during the ten-day period. This included 2,977 two-wheelers and 561 cars, making it the highest-performing RTO among the locations covered in the reported figures.

The strong two-wheeler numbers indicate that personal transport remains an important priority for Mumbai residents, particularly those seeking practical options for daily commuting.

Tardeo and Borivali Also Report Strong Demand

Other major RTOs in Mumbai also recorded considerable vehicle registrations during the Diwali period.

The Tardeo RTO registered 2,222 two-wheelers and 588 cars between November 1 and 10. Meanwhile, the Borivali RTO recorded 2,088 two-wheelers and 575 car registrations.

Together, Wadala, Tardeo and Borivali accounted for 7,287 two-wheeler registrations. Their combined figures demonstrate the scale of festive demand across different parts of Mumbai.

The data shows that two-wheelers significantly outnumbered cars across all three RTOs. However, car registrations also remained substantial, suggesting that festive buying activity extended across vehicle categories.

Dhanteras and Lakshmi Pujan Encourage Vehicle Purchases

Festivals such as Dhanteras and Lakshmi Pujan are traditionally considered favourable occasions for purchasing vehicles in India. Many buyers plan their purchases around these dates and prefer taking delivery on an auspicious day.

This buying pattern makes the Diwali period an important business opportunity for automobile manufacturers and dealerships. Customers often finalise bookings in advance to coordinate vehicle delivery with their preferred dates.

Mumbai's registration figures reflect this seasonal buying trend, with both two-wheeler and car purchases contributing to the festive market activity.

Andheri RTO Records 99 Registrations on November 8

The Andheri RTO also witnessed vehicle registration activity during the festive period. It recorded 99 vehicle registrations on November 8 alone.

However, consolidated registration figures for Andheri covering November 1 to 10 were not available at the time of reporting. Therefore, its overall contribution to Mumbai's festive vehicle registrations could not be determined.

Conclusion

Mumbai's vehicle registration figures highlight the strong influence of Diwali on automobile purchases. With more than 9,500 two-wheelers registered in the first ten days of November, the festive season delivered a notable boost to the city's two-wheeler market. Wadala, Tardeo and Borivali recorded particularly strong activity, reflecting continued demand for personal mobility.
