Maharashtra Extends HSRP Deadline From March 31 To June 30, 2025

This is the third time the Maharashtra Transport Department has extended the deadline for installing HSRP on vehicles sold before April 2019

The Maharashtra Transport Department has extended the deadline for installing High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) for the third time. When the HSRP was made mandatory for cars sold before April 2019, the transport department declared the first deadline as March 31, which was extended to April 30 and now has been extended a third time to June 30, 2025. In an official letter, the transport department has decided to increase the deadline a third time due to a lower turnaround of vehicles for the installation of HSRP than what was expected. 

If you are looking to apply for an HSRP, here is an overview of the steps required to book an appointment for your vehicle.

What is an HSRP? 

High Security Registration Number Plate, or commonly known as HSRP, are tamper-proof number plates that have been made mandatory by the government of India. These plates are attached to the vehicle using special locks that cannot be reused once the number plate has been removed. These plates are etched with a code, making each HSRP unique. These plates, as stated by the government, were introduced to reduce vehicle-related crimes.
