Along with front and rear HSRP plates, vehicles must display a color-coded high-security sticker on the left corner of their front windshield. These specify the vehicle fuel type and BS emission compliance standard.
Mandated for all Petrol and CNG engine passenger vehicles. (CNG vehicles additionally feature an orange border line strip along the sticker layout).
Mandated for all Diesel engine passenger cars, SUVs, transport goods carriages, and commercial buses to prevent fuel tax evasion.
Mandated for all zero-emission Battery Electric Vehicles (EVs). Green stickers highlight fuel-cleanliness compliance at automated checks.
Even if you have the physical aluminum plates fitted at the front and rear, driving without the tricolor color-coded sticker on the front windshield is a violation and can attract a traffic challan of up to ₹1,500. You can book standalone stickers online for ₹100 - ₹150 if yours is damaged or peeled.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) introduced the High-Security Registration Plates mandate under Rule 50 of the Central Motor Vehicles Rules (CMVR), 1989.
This regulation enforces standardized, secure plates that make duplicate forgery and cloning extremely difficult. If your vehicle lacks an official HSRP or sports damaged snap locks, RTO field officers are authorized to penalize owners with hefty fines.
An HSRP is a chromium-based hologram license plate made of aluminum, fitted with unique security features like a hot-stamped laser PIN, dynamic blue IND lettering, and non-reusable snap locks. It is mandated by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to prevent vehicle theft and license plate duplication.
Yes, HSRP is mandatory for all classes of motorized vehicles across India. Driving without HSRP can attract a heavy traffic challan fine ranging from ₹5,000 to ₹10,000 under MV Act Section 39.
No, BookMyHSRP is the authorized vendor for specific states, including Delhi, Uttar Pradesh, Bihar, Haryana, and Uttarakhand. For other states like Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Kerala, you must book via the national portal SIAM (siam.in) which dynamically redirects you to your state's authorized supplier.
Tricolor color-coded stickers are third license plates stuck on the windshield inside the left corner. They represent the vehicle's fuel type: Light Blue for Petrol & CNG, Orange for Diesel, and Green for Electric Vehicles (EVs). Each sticker displays the registration number, laser PIN, and RTO register date.
The standard price ranges between ₹350 and ₹450 for two-wheelers, and between ₹700 and ₹850 for four-wheelers. If you choose home delivery and installation, an additional convenience fee of ₹100 for bikes and ₹250 for cars is usually applicable.
Most State RTOs (like Delhi, UP, Karnataka) block applications for duplicate registration certificates (RCs), transfer of ownership, or fitness certifications if the vehicle has not been updated with an official HSRP. You must get HSRP booked first.
