COE quota to edge up 1.1% for November to January

Category B rises 3.3% to 5,707, whilst Category A holds at 7,134.

The supply of Certificates of Entitlement (COE) available from November to January 2027 will inch up 1.1% to 19,298, according to the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

The figure is 213 more than the 19,085 offered from August to October this year.

The quota includes replacement COEs calculated from 25% of effective vehicle deregistrations between October 2025 and September.

The quota also includes a provision for 0.25% annual growth in the Category C vehicle population, covering goods vehicles and buses.

COEs for Category A, which covers smaller, less powerful cars and electric vehicles, remained at 7,134.

Meanwhile, COEs for Category B, used to register larger, more powerful cars and EVs, rose 3.3% to 5,707 from 5,527 in the preceding period.

The number of certificates for Category C and Category E (open) also increased by 2% to 1,873 and by 3.7% to 1,580, respectively.

Only Category D, reserved for motorcycles, recorded a decrease, dipping 2% to 3,004 from 3,065.

LTA said the COE quota is not affected by the ongoing review of COE categorisation for cars.

Bidding under the quota will start on 2 November.

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.
