555 imported vehicles registered with Pune RTO in 2024
Pune typically sees registrations of around 2.5 to 3 lakh vehicles annually, with the city’s total vehicle count exceeding 35 lakh
In the last 11 months, Pune city has registered 555 imported vehicles, including 300 two-wheelers and 255 luxury cars, agricultural vehicles, and other four-wheelers. This marks a significant rise compared to 309 such vehicles registered in 2023, which had already brought in substantial revenue for the Regional Transport Office (RTO).
Pune typically sees registrations of around 2.5 to 3 lakh vehicles annually, with the city’s total vehicle count exceeding 35 lakh. Most of these are two-wheelers, although RTO officials have observed a gradual decline in daily registrations. The data provided by the RTO reveals that, in 2023, 160 of the 309 imported vehicles were two-wheelers, while 149 were four-wheelers.
Owners of imported vehicles are required to pay 20% of the vehicle’s market price as service charges, in addition to paying for choice registration numbers, which further boosts government revenue.
Deputy RTO Swapnil Bhosale noted a noticeable increase in the registration of imported two-wheelers over four-wheelers this year. “This trend has brought robust revenue earnings for the government,” he said.
