What the numbers say about Andaman & Nicobar Islands
Andaman & Nicobar Islands recorded 21.5 deaths for every 100 road accidents in 2024, against the national figure of 36.3. Crashes here are less often fatal than the Indian average, which usually reflects lower average speeds, more urban traffic, or faster access to emergency care. Deaths rose 20.83% between 2023 and 2024, so the trend is moving the wrong way.

Source & method
Accident and fatality counts are from the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (Transport Research Wing), Road Accidents in India 2024 — Table 5.1 (accidents) and Table 5.6 (persons killed), both State/UT-wise for 2020-2024. Ranks and year-on-year percentage changes are as published in those tables.
“Deaths per 100 crashes” is accident severity, calculated here as deaths divided by accidents for the same year. It is the standard measure MoRTH uses to describe how lethal crashes are, as distinct from how many there are.
Figures are those reported to MoRTH by state police departments. MoRTH restates earlier years in each edition, so these may differ slightly from figures published in previous years' reports.
