Orissa POST
|February 06, 2026
Maharashtra has recorded a rise in the number of road accidents as well as serious injuries in them for the sixth consecutive year, though the silver lining is that fatalities have registered a marginal decline, officials said Thursday citing figures from the transport department's provisional accident data of 2025.
The state recorded 36,450 road accidents in 2025, sustaining the upward trend despite intensified enforcement, while the number of seriously injured persons rose by 8 per cent during the year, marking the sixth consecutive annual increase, as per the report.
As per official data, the state recorded 24,971 accidents in 2020, which rose to 29,477 in 2021, to 33,383 in 2022, to 35,243 in 2023, and 36,110 in 2024.
After witnessing a dip in accidents in 2020, when the first wave of the COVID pandemic hit the world, from 32,925 the previous year, numbers have steadily increased every year thereafter, the report stated.
