Mumbai-Nagpur: The Maharashtra government has extended the deadline for installing High-Security Registration Plates (HSRPs) to April 30, 2025. The deadline was initially set for March 31, 2025, but authorities decided to push it further to prevent a last-minute rush and ensure a smoother process for vehicle owners.
Why is HSRP Mandatory?
HSRPs are being enforced to enhance vehicle security and curb illegal activities such as counterfeiting and theft. These tamper-proof plates also help in improving vehicle traceability and ensure compliance with state regulations.
