The reduced goods and services (GST) rates which came into effect from September 22, along with the festive fervour of Navratri and Dussehra, have fuelled new vehicle registrations across the regional transport offices (RTOs) in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). Figures compiled from various RTOs across MMR have revealed that vehicle registrations have increased by 14 percent compared from the previous year.

There has been a significant rise in the purchases in both four-wheelers and two-wheeler categories.
