Nagpur: During the Navratri festival, Nagpur witnessed a significant surge in new vehicle registrations, marking a remarkable increase compared to the previous year. Data from Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) and local media reports indicate that a total of 4,738 vehicles were delivered during the ten days of the Navratri festival, reflecting a 342% growth in new vehicle registrations compared to 2022.
In 2022, the combined new vehicle registrations by the three RTOs in the region — Nagpur City, East, and Rural — amounted to only 1,073 vehicles during the same period. This substantial growth in new vehicles hitting the roads of Nagpur district is indicative of an increased consumer demand for automobiles during the festive season.

According to the RTO data, two-wheelers remain the preferred choice among consumers, with the three RTOs collectively registering 3,175 two-wheelers and 1,027 four-wheelers during the Navratri festival. This trend indicates the enduring popularity of two-wheelers in the region.
Dealers in the area are optimistic about the upcoming auspicious day of Dhanteras, as many prospective buyers have already pre-booked their new vehicles. This suggests that the surge in demand for automobiles may continue beyond the Navratri festival.
Transport Department officials note that the registration of new vehicles during the festive season was significantly above average compared to pre-pandemic levels, indicating a robust revival of the automobile sector in the district.
