Senior - BHPian ![]() | ![]() Seems there is non-awareness of recent developments in Maharashtra (MH) state. If not aware, the Maharashtra Transport department, RTO had floated a tender in July 2013 for HSRP on BOO model in MH. It is highly likely that the process will start soon in MH now. Those just wanting to change the plates for whatever reasons, better hold on for some more time and wait to get the HSRP plates only.

Team-BHP Support ![]() ![]() | ![]() Here (I believe throughout Bihar) you have to pay Rs. 335 (for 4 wheelers) for HSRP at the DTO's counter. They will issue a receipt & after around 2 weeks, you got to go to the vendor & they will bolt on the plates. They are using the permanent bolts which can't be taken out/sheared. And, they also have some numbers written on the plate which they jot down & later feed on the computer. They are very small in size. They also provide a sticker (small one, like a parking sticker) meant to be put up at the windshield. I haven't put that up as it wasn't available. In metros or other states, do dealers have access to the HSRP? |

| ![]() Here’s how they do it here at the Surat RTO. A bunch of guys wearing ‘HSRP Team’ tees do the installation work. - Get the token number from the RTO counter using the slip provided by the RTO/agent. - Wait for the turn. - Drive in the car inside the premises. Only 5 of these could be parked at once. - If the template of a car is available, the installation guy will drill the hole using the template so the plate fits the hole locations of the car. Some cars do not have holes on the number plate slots (for eg. Polo, Rapid) so he drills a hole in the bumper after placing the number plate at the slot. - After the plates are installed, a sticker is stuck on the top-right corner of the front windshield. This holographic sticker mentions the regn. number, chassis number and engine number. - 2 snaps are clicked with the owner standing next to the front and rear of the car. 2 snaps of the chassis number and the sticker are also clicked. - Leave the RTO. ![]() Snaps of how it was done on the new Rapid (notice the new Skoda logo): ![]() ![]() Snaps from my GT TDI: ![]() ![]() A word about the quality of the plates (Ctrl+C/Ctrl+V from my ownership thread): Quote:

I would say, they add Rs.150 or even more and give us a better quality. None will feel bad for that as anyways, we are to get number plates done outside for Rs.1000+ | |

| ![]() I bought a verna sx on dussera I.e. 13th oct and I'm still waiting waiting for the call for hrsp fitting. The driver went for the fitting on the date and time mentioned on the hrsp receipt and they informed me that the number will come up only after Diwali! They said that I'll have to wait for the SMS to arrive and than come after 4 days after the SMS is received as the number still hasn't come up on their computer. My question is can the hrsp be fitted from any other source apart from the rto? It's an inconvenience to not have a number plate after almost 20 days of delivery and been allotted a number. Plus this being a company car we cannot yet take it outside the city let alone the state as it will only invite unnecessary police checking and harassment. Any inputs will be helpful from fellow members. |

There may have been many car deliveries after Dussehra (auspicious period) which is why the delay. | ||

This was proposed during the NDA regime, with reportedly - under the instigation of Shimnit, with possibly a strong baksheesh element. When the matter was brought to the notice of the General, he promptly put a stop to it. However, proposals have an infinite life. Other firms, like, Utsav also came up. I must say, we the customers are also responsible for putting up plates with all sorts of weird designs, lettering and backgrounds. MH gov went to the HC for allowing lettering in Devanagri , and was rebuffed four times. Still all Govt vehicles in UP are in Devanagri with often UP written as as Uttar Pradesh. The law only allows Roman Numerals and letters! I personally feel that the BIS specifications should be clearly publicised, and strict conformity with BIS marked plates should be the only ones permitted. The plates must bear BIS stamping. Has been in the UK since at least the 1970's, possibly much earlier. Nobody wants to deal with the RTO, arguably the most corrupt department. Last edited by sgiitk : 1st November 2013 at 09:40. | |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Saw news that high security number plates are going to be mandatory in AP from Dec 1. That means there is only 25 days or so before deadline, was there any discussion on this before or is it one sudden move from AP government. NDTV link about the same. |

Distinguished - BHPian ![]() ![]() | ![]() Getsurya, sorry apart from the details mentioned in the link I don't have any idea about the implementation. In fact I was surprised to see the article mentioning a deadline of around 20 days since no discussion about the same was seen on TBHP. |

BHPian ![]() | ![]() Hey Folks - I have a new car registered in Mangalore and currently in Bangalore. How would I go about getting HSRP for my vehicle? The dealers here suggest visiting any number plate shop - but aren't those only lookalikes? Would the Bangalore RTO be able to get me KA19 plates? |

| ![]() An update that I heard on the Radio. All vehicles purchased after the 11 th of December must have the high security number plates once the car goes for registration. Yet to know action has been planned for vehicles that are already registered. I am excited as I love the look that those number plates give to the car apart from safety feature. Anurag. |
