HSRP – High Security Registration Plate Status

HSRP stands for High-Security Registration Plate, which was introduced in 2001 by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highway. A special 1 mm aluminium plate is used to make the HSR plate. White or yellow reflective sheets laminate it. MORTH has declared that Indian citizens must have an HSRP number plate for old vehicles in 2024 (vehicles sold before April 2019). Colour-coded fuel stickers are also compulsory now. Citizens of India can register at their respective states like HSRP Gujarat, Delhi, UP, Punjab, Andhra Pradesh, etc.

From the dealer’s end, vehicles sold after April 2019 come with these plates. Anyone who has the vehicles before the said date must get their new High-Security Registration Plate from their dealers/ authorized vendors because it has become mandatory.

Through the official website of MORTH, owners of 2 or four-wheelers can register for their number plated or get it from the authorized vendors in their respective states.

HSRP registration is done according to your state, or you can also contact your nearest dealer. High-Security Registration Plates and colour-coded fuel stickers are mandatory.
