New Delhi: High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP)is the new standard in license plate in India. HSRP plates are made of aluminum, with unique details other than the registration number itself, and are affixed using at least two non-reusable snap-on locks. They come with special features like a 3D hologram and a laser-etched serial number to prevent tampering.
From July 2022, all new vehicles automatically get HSRP plates. States like Karnataka now require older vehicles to upgrade by February 17, 2024. Failing to do so could lead to fines ranging from Rs 500 to Rs 1,000.
Currently, having an HSRP number plate is mandatory for all officially registered vehicles in the country. The only way to apply for a new or replacement HSRP number plate is through the official website of the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), the apex national body representing the Indian automobile industry.
