High security registration plates to be mandatory from January 1, 2019

In a move that is set to offer additional assurance against vehicle robbery, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has declared that High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) will be required on all vehicles made on or after January 1, 2019. 

The round illuminates that vehicle makers can create their own HSRP – if they get a Type Approval declaration from a Central Government-approved testing office – or acquire them from an organization that as of now makes them. The round likewise says that the HSRP will accompany a 15-year ensure. In the event that it breaks, shrivels or endures some other characteristic harm inside that day and age, it should be supplanted by the merchant who fitted it. 

To debilitate falsifying, a chromium-based multi dimensional image will be hot-stamped on the upper left corner of both front and back HSRPs. This stamp will contain the Ashoka Chakra in blue. The 10-digit perpetual ID number (PIN) will be laser-marked into the base left corner of the HSRPs, and the hot-stamping film to be connected on the letters and numerals of the enlistment number will have 'India' engraved on it. 

Also, there will be a third enlistment plate as a self-destructing chromium multi dimensional image sticker, which should be joined on the base left half of the windshield, within. Points of interest, for example, the enrollment number, the enlisting specialist, laser-marked PIN and the motor and suspension number will be a piece of this sticker. 

To guarantee the HSRPs aren't stolen, the roundabout expresses that the back HSRP should be secured with "no less than two" non-removable/non-reusable snap locks. HSRPs can likewise be fitted to existing vehicles – however just once the old plates have been surrendered and devastated.
