Bengaluru: The Karnataka government has announced an extension for the installation of High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) for all vehicles registered before April 1, 2019. As per a new notification issued by the Transport Department on October 30, 2024, vehicle owners now have until November 30, 2024, to comply with this requirement.
