What is HSRP?
HSRP or High-security registration plate is a new number plate for motor vehicles in India. An HSRP is basically a chromium-based hologram that is applied by hot stamping on the number plates with a laser-branded permanent identification number.
The HSRP has some security features to protect vehicle owners against counterfeiting. Moreover, it also has color stickers to identify the fuel type in the vehicle. The light blue sticker means Petrol and CNG vehicle and orange means Diesel.
