COE quota cut to 18,824 for Feb-Apr

Bidding opens 2 February with revised schedule in March–April.

Singapore’s Certificate of Entitlement (COE) quota for the February to April 2026 bidding period is set at 18,824, down 1% from the November 2025 to January 2026 quarter, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) said in a press release.

The quota comprises 25% of replacement COEs from vehicles deregistered between January 2025 and December 2025, alongside provision for 0.25% annual growth for Category C, based on the commercial vehicle population as of 31 December 2025, the LTA said.

Additional adjustments account for changes in the taxi population, expired Temporary COEs, the Early Turnover Scheme for commercial vehicles, redistribution from guaranteed deregistration for Categories A, B and D, and the injection of additional COEs, the LTA said.

Bidding under the new quota will begin on 2 February 2026, with exercises held on the first and third Monday of each month.

The authority said there will be a three-week interval between the second bidding exercise in March 2026 and the first bidding exercise in April 2026.

The LTA said the next COE quota announcement, covering the May 2026 to July 2026 bidding period, will be released in April 2026.

Reaching the people who run Asia's businesses is harder than it used to be.

Inboxes are crowded. Attention is short. The executives you most want to reach — the founders, CFOs, and operators who actually move budgets — are the hardest to find through the usual channels. If you're building a company, a category, or a reputation, you already know this.

We've spent twenty years building the room they read. Singapore Business Review is where senior decision makers in Singapore and across Southeast Asia come for business coverage they can't get elsewhere — in print, online, and in person at the summits and roundtables we host across seven markets.

If you have something these readers should know about — a point of view worth publishing, a product worth their attention, an event worth their time — we'd like to hear what you're trying to do.
