The road network in the city of Ahmedabad in India extends to 2,600 kilometers. In fiscal year 2007, the city had a total of around 1.5 million registered vehicles, which increased to more than twice its initial value in 2020. The city used to have more four-wheelers in the early years, but since the mid-2000s, the number of two-wheelers saw a tremendous growth in the city. In 2020, more than 70 percent of the registered vehicles across the city, are two-wheelers.
Domestic automotive market
The automotive industry across the nation is one of the largest across Asia. In 2019, India had around 296 million registered vehicles. Production wise, the market has been dominated by two-wheelers. With mercilessly congested roads still a problem across metros and larger cities, the affection towards two-wheelers in an increasing vehicle population with sluggish infrastructure growth comes as no surprise.
Two-wheels will prevail
Even though two-wheelers contributed the most to the number of road accidents in 2018, they are likely to continue in grow in number, due to their maneuverability through traffic jams, including resorting to riding the footpaths, and ease in finding parking spots.
