A High-Security Registration Plate (HSRP) is a tamper-proof number plate made of aluminum. It has several security features, including a chromium-based hologram of the Ashoka Chakra, a laser-etched 10-digit PIN, and hot-stamped film applied over the registration number.
HSRP number plates have several benefits, including:
- They are difficult to counterfeit or tamper with, which helps to deter vehicle theft and other crimes.
- They make it easier to identify vehicles, which can help law enforcement authorities to track down stolen vehicles and enforce traffic laws.
- They are also more reflective than traditional number plates, which makes vehicles more visible at night and in low-light conditions.
# Are HSRP number plates mandatory in India ?
Yes, HSRP number plates are mandatory for all vehicles in India, including new and old vehicles. The deadline for all vehicles to have HSRP number plates was July 2022, but some states have extended the deadline.
You can get an HSRP number plate for your vehicle by visiting an authorized HSRP dealer. You will need to provide the dealer with your vehicle registration number and chassis number. The dealer will then order the HSRP plate for you and install it on your vehicle.
In general, the color of HSRP number plates is standardized and may vary by the type of vehicle. It’s advisable to check with local authorities or the HSRP issuing agency for specific guidelines on color changes.
