400 high-end vehicles sold in city since Jan: BSRTC
From Innova Crystas to Jaguars and Porsches, high-end four-wheelers are no longer a rarity on roads.
According to data from the Bihar State Road Transport Corporation (BSRTC), since Jan 2025, nearly 400 luxury vehicles have been purchased.
Prices of such vehicles range from Rs 25 lakh to Rs 1 crore.
Of them, a maximum of 200 units of Toyota's Innova Crysta has been sold, followed by Toyota Fortuner. As the elites of this city are increasingly opting for high-end international brands, nine Mercedes, nine Jaguars, seven Porches, two Audis and eight Range Rovers have found home in Patna in the last six months.
During the last three years, 1,403 expensive four-wheelers were purchased in Patna. Compared to previous years, the sale of luxury vehicles has increased rapidly this year. Previously, in 2024, 2023 and 2022, purchase of 363, 353 and 295 high-end vehicles were made.
The growing affinity for expensive four-wheelers has spurred a boom in the automotive retail sector in the city. Patna now has 59 four-wheeler showrooms, said BSRTC.
Earlier people used to go to Ranchi, Kolkata or Varanasi to buy luxury cars. The surge in sales of such cars has come as a boon for the state, contributing significantly to GST and road tax revenues.
