Andhra Pradesh secured the first position in India's Ease of Vehicle Ownership Index (EVOI) 2026 with a score of 5.91 out of 10. The index was developed by IndiaTech.org in collaboration with Consumer VOICE to evaluate the ease of transferring ownership of second-hand vehicles. Kerala ranked second with 5.74 points, while Tamil Nadu and Delhi jointly secured third place with 4.58 points. Andhra Pradesh performed well due to its faster Registration Certificate (RC) transfer process, biometric verification system and road tax refund mechanism. The index assessed 15 states and Union Territories using six parameters, including policy, digital services, efficiency, transparency, support and cost.
