About Ease of Vehicle Ownership Index

• It is released by IndiaTech.org in partnership with Consumer VOICE.  
• The index ranks 15 States and Union Territories on how easily a citizen or dealer can buy, sell, and transfer a pre-owned vehicle.  
• The EVOI scores each state on six pillars: policy and regulatory framework, digital infrastructure, process efficiency, transparency and accountability, institutional ecosystem and dealer support, and cost and affordability. 
• The pillar scores are combined using a weighted geometric mean, so strength in one area cannot hide weakness in another. 
• The findings draw on a pan-India survey of over 1,000 buyers and sellers, interviews with dealers, RTO agents, and sector experts, and a review of central and state motor vehicle rules. 
• EVOI 2026 Highlights:
  • It is the first edition of the index.
  • Andhra Pradesh scored 5.91 out of 10, followed by Kerala at 5.74. 
  • Uttar Pradesh came last at 2.47, just behind Bihar at 2.51 and West Bengal at 2.56. 
  • No state scored above 6.0, highlighting widespread administrative challenges. 
  • Together, the 15 states account for over 85% of India’s organised used-car market.
