As per the data, total vehicle retail in Tripura stood at 55,681 units in FY’26, down from 61,980 units in FY’25. Two-wheeler sales, which form the largest segment of the state’s automobile market, declined by 12.26 percent, with 34,790 units sold against 39,650 units in the previous year. Three-wheeler sales also fell sharply by 15.94 percent, reaching 11,393 units compared to 13,553 units in FY’25.

Passenger vehicles remained a bright spot during the month, registering a 12.15 percent increase with 674 units sold, while two-wheelers and three-wheelers continued to decline marginally and sharply respectively.

The FADA report indicates that despite growth in selected segments, weak demand in two-wheelers and three-wheelers significantly impacted Tripura’s overall automobile retail performance during the financial year.
