B'luru ahead of Delhi in pvt vehicles

India’s Silicon Valley, which often suffers from severe traffi c jams, has roughly 23 lakh private cars as of March 2023.

Delhi has always been at the top in terms of private vehicles but in 2023, t such vehicles drastically went down after the Delhi Transport Department’s order, which directed the owners of old vehicles to scrap them.

As of March 2023, Delhi had 20.7 lakh private vehicles. In 2022, Bengaluru was ranked as the second most congested city globally.
