In another news, officials have reported that almost 10 lakh new vehicles in Maharashtra have been put on the road in the past five years without the required high-security registration plates (HSRPs); several of these vehicles are government-owned. The state government made it compulsory for vehicles registered before April 1, 2019, to have HSRPs installed to reduce vehicle theft and standardize identification. The responsibility for fitting these plates lies with the manufacturers before they deliver the vehicles to customers. The deadline for installing HSRPs has been extended to April 30.
