The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has HSRPs or High Security Registration Plates mandatory for all two-wheelers and four-wheelers in all the states. These plates are aluminium based and have a hologram of Ashoka Chakra in blue colour. Since HSRPs come with tamper-proof locks, they can be really beneficial in identifying stolen vehicles or vehicles having duplicate number plates.
As stated above, HSRPs are compulsory in almost every state including Gujarat. Those who live in Gujarat can either purchase the high-security registration plate (HSRP) online from the official portal or offline from the auto dealers. HSRP Gujarat can be booked online from the government authorized website, http://www.hsrpgujarat.com/. All you need to do is enter relevant details and submit the fees online. Besides new vehicles, HSRPs are also mandatory for old vehicles registered in Gujarat. However, the steps involved in the application process for both old and new vehicles are more or less the same.
If you have not yet purchased an HSRP for your vehicle, you can do it online and pay the fees from the comfort of your home. The prices vary as per the class of the vehicle and the application type. For payment of fees, you can choose the appropriate payment method such as debit card, credit card, UPI or Internet banking. The HSRP price for Gujarat is listed in the below-mentioned table.
