MORTH has declared that it is mandatory for citizens of India to have HSRP Number Plate for Old Vehicle 2022 (vehicles sold before April 2019). Also, colour-coded fuel stickers are now compulsory for Old vehicles. Vehicles sold after April 2019 come with HSRP plates from the dealer’s end but those who are having vehicles before the said date have to get their new HSRP plate from their dealers/ authorized vendors as it has become mandatory for all.

What is HSRP?

A High-Security Registration plate (HSRP) is simply a tamper-proof vehicle registration/ number plate made up of aluminium having chromium-based hologram, hot-stamped alpha numeral with retro Reflective sheet, and a laser-etched PIN (laser code). It is now compulsory in India to have HSRP in all vehicles.

Department of transport released notification a few days earlier. In accordance with the notice, there were about 4 million registered cars without HSRP before 2012 in Delhi. There were 3 and a half lakh vehicles with fuel stickers. Now, MORTH has announced that being a citizen of India, it is very compulsory to get an HSRP Number Plate Registration.
