Nagpur RTO Launches HSRP Enforcement Drive Starting July 1, Fines Imposed Vehicle owners in Nagpur and across Maharashtra are being urged to comply with the mandatory installation of High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) as Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) and traffic police prepare to enforce the requirement starting July 1. The initiative, part of a state-wide crackdown, will target drivers who have not installed HSRP or booked an appointment for installation. Officials clarified that those who booked an HSRP appointment by June 30 will be exempt from penalties until their scheduled installation is completed. Under the enforcement drive, violators operating vehicles without HSRP will face a fine of Rs 1,000 under the Motor Vehicles Act. The operation in Nagpur will be conducted jointly by RTO (City) and RTO (East), led by regional transport officer Kiran Bidkar, and RTO (rural), headed by Vijay Chavhan, alongside traffic police. Fourteen flying squads have been deployed across the three RTOs to conduct inspections and take action from July 1. The enforcement comes amid low compliance rates. Data from the Maharashtra transport department reveals that out of 14.35 lakh eligible vehicles in Nagpur’s three RTOs, only 7.77 lakh owners have booked HSRP installation appointments, while 7.02 lakh vehicles already have the tamper-proof plates. This means just 48.9% of eligible vehicles have completed the formalities, with appointment bookings at 54.1%. Officials noted that half of the vehicle owners remain non-compliant. The crackdown also expands restrictions on services for vehicles without HSRP.#nagpur_rto #maharashtra_transport_department #kiran_bidkar #vijay_chavhan #hsrp_enforcement
