I finished HSRP Installation for my corolla at Nandi Toyota, Kudlu gate.

I called the phone number listed on the HSRP invoice for confirming if the plates were received at the dealership. Post confirmation, Visited the sales section and got them installed. Zero Cost, No Drama, Nandi Toyota did the work quickly.

I still wonder how will they install it on vehicles with no provision for a number plate. A classic example is an old Bajaj Scooter. Will they drill a hole and install it? Do they have any specific guidelines on where it should be installed, how it should be installed, and will they provide necessary clamps, etc. if required? Has anyone got anything done like this or heard? Also, never seen an HSRP on a classic vehicle having the Cxx or Mxx series either. I wouldn't want to dare try it on my bajaj scooter. I will delay until the penultimate moment. But, am extremely curious.

In front, a single line HSRP will be drilled into the body just how it is for modern day scooters. No clamps, and obviously looks very ugly. Rear plate goes on the existing number plate. It's done for my Chetak (3 digit old WB number), but I can't find a photo of it on my phone right now and the scooter is 2000kms away from me.

M, N - Cars
O - Dont know if it's in use. Never seen any vehicle in this series. Chances are it can be confused with '0' and purposefully omitted.
P - Cars
Q, R, S, T, U, V, W, X, Y - 2 Wheelers
Z - Cars

After A,B,C,D it'll be AA to AZ, BA to BZ, CA to CZ, DA to DZ barring I and O in between.

T is reserved for Tractors. T, TA, TB so on till TZ.

No, actually these Alphabet Series came only in 1990s onwards. What Bhpian funkykar has mentioned is correct.

Registration was always based on what area you reside in since ages. I guess the reason why 03 and 05 are ahead are due to higher consumers in that particular area. Also, many people change cars within 2 years. So, that particular category people might be more in these areas. I have visited many relatives homes in West and North Bangalore, almost many residences have cars which are more than 4 years old. Such kind of people tend to keep longer and hence registration of new vehicles is lower and therefore the series takes longer time to exhaust.

Take Mysore for example, since ages there was only 1 office (KA09), only in 2007/08 additional RTO was sanctioned (KA55). It's almost used for LL and DL purpose. Vehicles are hardly registered there. Most registrations are done in older office.

Comparable cities to Mysore like Mangalore which only has 1 office till now is only next to Bangalore in terms of registration. Every 11 months, next series is available. It's currently running in MN series.

Got it fixed yesterday. All the drama was in reaching the place. Driving southbound on ORR towards Whitefield between 10-11am needs a stout heart. I kept thinking... "People do this every day????" About 45 minutes to cover 6kms.

Anyway, they removed the old fake HSRP, and riveted the new HSRP. Yup, riveted. No chance of removing ever, without causing damage.

What are you guys doing with the old plates? Can I just dump it into apartment's metal recycle bin?

Will update once installed. Please feel free to add any pointers that I may have missed.

Quick Update:
I had an appointment with Varun Motors (Maruti) at Nagavara, Bangalore earlier this week, for installation of the HSRP. The plate arrived on the scheduled date. The contact person was knowledgeable and thorough, knew exactly what we wanted. The installation was quick and hassle-free. All in all, had a positive experience.

Are they checking the RC card & owners ID while fixing the plates ? If so will I need to go by myself instead of sending my brother.

Rivets can be easily re-drilled & a slightly bigger rivet can be applied. Had read about someone whose number plate was fixed crooked so they had the plate drilled again. This was pre-HSRP though.

I'm going to screw them into my garage wall.

Nope.

They are not checking the RC card and owners ID while fixing the plates. But, this is for Toyota, I am not sure of how the process is for other brands.

Nope. If you show up with the car with the same plates, you are good to go. If someone with fake plates show up at the right time, they will get your genuine plates.

Hi,
Can you let us know if the details have been updated on the VAHAN database?

Did you ask the dealership about it, if not done already?

Thanks.

Owners of Chevrolet cars - any update on how to get HSRP? The SIAM site does not offer any info., Contacting the RTO, Chevrolet support, and the authorized service centers also has not helped.

Even I managed to book a slot for Friday, 8th Sept. Hopefully it happens without much fuss. Maybe we can run into each other there(couldn't send you a DM).

Anyone else got HSRP plates for old Renault cars in Karnataka ?

I too was faced with the same issue and when I raised a complaint with bookmyhsrp.com, they mentioned that the older Renault cars are registered as R.N.A.I.P.Ltd in Vahan app instead of Renault India Private Limited. So we will need to update the details in Vahan Portal through RTO in order for us to book HSRP.

I am checking with my friends who have bought newer Renault cars verify the right manufacturer name to update in vahan portal. If you have found any solution, please let me know.
