Indira Nagar - Bangalore East

For the curiosity i have contacted the Utsav dealer in Old Airport road and what they said is;

UTSAV got the approval from ARAI for making the HSPP in India along with 17 other manufacturers, and at present Karnataka state has not selected anyone of these 18 manufactures for issuing the HSRP plates in Karnataka. We have the HSRP ready but at the moment we cant etch the Laser Unique Number in the plates and issue the Self destructive stickers. The rate for HSRP plates they quoted for cars Rs.850 and they are saying that after the implementation of HSRP they can etch the unique number and stickers in which they have already sold for an additional cost !

They only makes these plates and the fitting has to be done from outside shops

[sgiitk]

I think the newspaper is jumping the gun. When fully implemented the fitting has to be by the RTO or authorized agencies.

I had checked with the BLR North RTO (Yeshwantpur). Interesting, so if I want the HSNP for my vehicle, I suppose I can buy them at Utsav and then fit them myself? Is it a DIY or are there any special tools/components required?

Also, is it Rs. 850 for a set of two plates?

Thanks for your inputs,
gpa

gpa,
Yes its 850 for both front and rear. You just need to drill the holes and fix it up. They also provide those tamper-proof screws.

Thanks Fountainheader.
@ Wildon: Can you pass on the number of the dealer here in Bangalore? I checked through the Utsav website, but to no avail.

Thanks,

Here are my HSRPs. Got them a couple of months back. Cost me 1600/- but thats because, i got acrylic mounting back plates for the front and rear plates in order to safeguard them form bending. Also ordered on the phone and plates were delivered home and fitted.

Thanks, wildon. I did manage to get the number from a few pages behind and spoke to the guy. However, just like you have said these plates have not yet been given the official nod, I'd prefer to wait till there is further movement on this by the RTO and then take the plunge.

Cheers,
gpa

This would give the cops another way of harassing motorists, and 1600 for a set of number plates - gosh this is expensive... for a 15 yr old maruti 800 - this might be 1/10 th the cost of the entire car! But yes - these HSNPs do look cool... How is the long term durability of these plates???

[tigerabbas]

Carplus store in Sector 14 Gurgaon also does this number plateThis is near the Shivaji Chowk

I have had mine for 1.5 yrs (40k km) and all it takes is a wipe with a diesel soaked rag to make it look brand new again. I think mine cost about 750 Rs.
