The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has extended the date for the installation of the High-Security Registration Plate (HSRP) on all vehicles registered before 2019, up to March 31, 2025.
The vehicle manufacturers were directed to provide the HSRP from April 1, 2019. The notification to this effect was issued in 2018. The State Governments were also directed to make HSRP mandatory for all vehicles registered before 2019. The Maharashtra Government, however, has not issued any such notification so far.
