How can 2 crore vehicles get fitted with HSRP (High Security Registration Plates) within three months? The Maharashtra Transport Commissioner’s Office has set a deadline of March 31, 2025, for affixing HSRPs for the old vehicles registered before April 1, 2019. “We have issued a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) and the link is already live where people can go and start registering. The HSRPs are important to curb vehicle theft and bring uniformity to vehicle identification. 

"We have appointed three agencies for the task of installing new registration plates in three zones across Maharashtra. On Thursday the transport department took meetings of all Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) in the state to monitor the development and sensitise staff about handling citizens,” Maharashtra Transport Commissioner Vivek Bhimanwar told mid-day.
