Commissioner General of the Department Jagath Chandrasiri said that during the first seven months of this year alone, a total of 375,994 vehicles have been registered. He added that the highest number of registrations have been for motorcycles.

Jagath Chandrasiri went on to note that the main reason for the increase in registration of motor vehicles is due to the tax concessions implemented by the new government.
