COE supply edges up 0.2% as category B quota rises, cat A falls

Larger-car allocation grows by 322, whilst the smaller-car quota drops by 300.

The supply of Certificates of Entitlement (COEs) available from August to October will rise 0.2% from 19,052 to 19,085, according to the Land Transport Authority (LTA).

The quota for Category A, covering smaller and less powerful cars, will fall by 300 to 7,134.

Meanwhile, Category B, which covers larger and more powerful cars, will receive 5,527 COEs, an increase of 322 from the previous quarter.

The quota for goods vehicles and buses will rise by 94 to 1,836, whilst motorcycle allocation will decline by 80 to 3,065.

The open category quota will be broadly unchanged at 1,523, down by three, LTA added.

Bidding under the new quota will begin on Aug. 3. Exercises are held on the first and third Monday of each month.

There will be a three-week gap between the second bidding exercise in August and the first exercise in September.

The quota for the November to January 2027 bidding period will be announced in October.

Most of the new quota consists of replacement COEs generated by vehicle deregistrations between July 2025 and June 2026.

The allocation also includes adjustments for changes in the taxi population, unused temporary COEs, the Early Turnover Scheme for commercial vehicles and the redistribution or injection of additional COEs.

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.
