The Delhi Transport Department has recently made it mandatory for the vehicle owners in Delhi to have a high-security registration plate (HSRP) and a colour coded sticker to determine its engine and fuel type. Vehicle owners without an HSRP plate and the colour coded sticker, also known as third registration mark, will be fined, ranging between Rs 5,000-10,000.
Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot had earlier told news agency ANI that the Delhi government is enforcing the law as per the direction of the Supreme Court.
All HSRP plates should have a similar font design and it should also have a blue coloured Ashoka Chakra on the left side. The colour of the number plate for private vehicles should be the same i.e. white background with black numbers stamped on it.
The HSRP number plates will be fixed using non-removable snap-on locks which will be very difficult to remove. HSRP is expected to bring evenness to the numbering system of vehicles.
The colour coded stickers are holograms which are fixed inside the windscreen of a car. The vehicles running on diesel will have a sticker with an orange coloured background. The vehicles which are running on the old BS-III and BS-IV fuel will be having a blue coloured sticker. The petrol, CNG vehicles which are running on the new BS-VI engine will have a sticker with a blue background and a green strip.
