Trend in increase of cars in Sri Lanka

Currently some 5,000 motor vehicles are being registered per month in Sri Lanka and around 50,000 have been registered during this year alone, says the Commissioner General of Motor Traffic.

Commissioner General of Motor Traffic S.H. Harischandra told www.adaderanabiz.lk, “Around 5,000 motor vehicles are being registered since August. Before this it was somewhere around 3,000 only.”

The reason for this increase motor vehicle registration is the considerable decrease in taxes on smaller motor vehicles through the 2015 budget proposals.

According to the Commissioner General of Motor Traffic some 8,000 three-wheelers are being registered each month.

Accordingly, around 400,000 vehicles are expected to be registered by end this year whereas the number was around 325,000 last year, added the Commissioner General.
