About High-Security Registration Plates

The High-Security Registration Plate is a vehicle registration plate that is made of aluminum with a hot-stamped chromium-based hologram of Ashoka Chakra.

A 10-digit PIN (permanent identification number)is also engraved with laser technology on the registration plate. This unique identification number is electronically linked to the vehicle. A chassis number and the engine number is also stored as data linked to the identification number.

The HSRP is made mandatory to locate and track a vehicle easily, even if it is tampered with or gets stolen. The plate is difficult to remove and the identification number helps in tracking and is of various other uses.
