History

All motorised road vehicles in India are tagged with a registration or licence number. The Vehicle registration plate (known colloquially as number plate) is issued by a Regional Transport Office (RTO)  — the district-level authority on road matters in the respective state or Union Territory. The number plates are mandatory on both front and rear of the vehicle and are required to be in modern arabic numerals with latin letters.[1] Complete specification of registration plates are specified under the HSRP: High Security Registration Plate rules.

The international vehicle registration code for India is IND.
