Thread: High Security Registration Plates in India

High Security Registration Plates for all motor vehicles will become mandatory in India soon.

HSRP has already been implemented in Meghalaya and Assam. The next state in line is Rajasthan.

The project was under backburner for some time but now has been revived. A German Indian company has been given the contract.

Cost of HSRP is believed to be Rs. 500 for 2/3 wheelers, Rs. 1500 for 4 wheelers and Rs. 2000 for LCV/HCV. 2 plates each.

Interesting. What is so special about it.

The HSRP will have the following features:

• Chromium hologram.
• A retro-reflective film, bearing a verification inscription ’India’ at 45 degree inclination.
• Laser numbering, which is unique in nature containing alpha-numeric identification of both Testing Agencies and the manufacturers.
• The Registration numbers to be embossed on the plates.
• In case of rear registration plate, same to be fitted with a non-reusable snap lock to make it tamper proof.
• A Chromium based third registration plate in the form of sticker is to be attached to the wind shield, wherein the number of engine and chassis are indicated along with the name of registering authority. If tampered with, it self destructs.
• In front and rear registration plates, letter IND in blue color is hot stamped.
  Letters ‘IND’ in blue colour on extreme left centre of the plates.
• Not possible or difficult to duplicate

Here is an example (ignore the cards in the foreground):



These plates will be compulsary for all.

Good one
