Mumbai Dussehra Vehicle Registrations: Two-Wheelers Dominate With 6,210 Units, Mumbai Central RTO Leads Festive Sales

Mumbai's Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) witnessed a surge in vehicle registrations during the Dussehra festive period, with two-wheelers leading the pack. Among the four RTOs - Mumbai Central, Wadala, Andheri and Borivali - Mumbai Central emerged as the top seller, registering 2,401 two-wheelers and 924 cars. Wadala came in second with 2,146 two-wheelers and 555 cars, followed by Andheri with 1,351 two-wheelers and 588 cars, and Borivali with 312 two-wheelers and 172 cars.

The data shows a clear trend of two-wheelers outnumbering cars at all four RTOs during the festive season. This shift towards two-wheelers is reflective of their increasing dominance in daily commuting, especially in a city plagued by traffic congestion and parking woes. Two-wheelers are also popular among gig economy workers who need a reliable mode of transport.

While the rise in two-wheeler registrations could be attributed to the festive spirit, it is also possible that buyers may have capitalized on any discounts or special offers that dealerships may have offered during the Dussehra sales event. The figures, however, do not provide a definitive answer to this.
