A recent report ranks Andhra Pradesh and Kerala as the easiest states for vehicle ownership in India, while Uttar Pradesh and Bihar rank at the bottom.
A newly released report on the ease of vehicle ownership in India has highlighted significant regional disparities in administrative processes. Andhra Pradesh and Kerala have emerged as the top performers, indicating that residents in these southern states face fewer hurdles when registering or owning vehicles.
Conversely, the report places Uttar Pradesh and Bihar at the bottom of the index. This ranking suggests that vehicle owners in these northern states encounter greater bureaucratic challenges or procedural delays compared to their counterparts in the leading states.
The index serves as a benchmark for state governments to identify bottlenecks in their transport departments. By comparing these metrics, policymakers can work towards standardizing and simplifying vehicle registration and ownership procedures across the country.
