Maharashtra Extends High-Security Registration Plate Deadline to June 30
The state government cites low compliance and logistical challenges, with only 1.8 million of 21 million eligible vehicles fitted with HSRP plates.
- This marks the third deadline extension, following earlier deadlines of March 31 and April 30, 2025.
- High-Security Registration Plates (HSRP) are tamper-proof plates with unique identification numbers to enhance road safety and prevent vehicle-related crimes.
- Vehicle owners can book HSRP installation appointments online, with options for home delivery and bulk installation discounts being promoted.
- Non-compliance will result in fines of ₹1,000 under the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, and only plates from authorized vendors will be considered valid.
- Concerns remain over high costs, fraudulent websites impersonating vendors, and delays in securing installation appointments.
