After Supreme Court's order to install HSRP (High Security Registration Plates) number plates in vehicles, the transport department of Gujarat has clarified that all vehicles should have HSRP fitted before 15 January, 2018. The department will impose fine of Rs. 500 on the vehicle owners who fail to comply with the requirement. The state government had made it compulsory in November 2012 for all the new vehicles to have HSRP. But the vehicles registered before that were given exemption. Now that the department has made it mandatory for all the vehicles, old vehicle owners are also rushing to get their number plates changed before 15th January and it has created havoc in Ahmedabad.
The department issued an advertisement in the newspaper regarding dealer's list but the ground reality is totally different. Despite the advertisement, RTO is witnessing huge rush of vehicle owners willing to change their old number plates for the new ones.
The department issued the list of dealers on http://www.hsrpgujarat.com. As per the website, there are 38 dealers in Ahmedabad district who can install HSRP number plates.
