EVs in India accounted for 5% of total vehicle sales in September 2023, and data shows that they can hit the 40% mark by 2030. Their growing pace makes it important for us to know if one requires an e-vehicle number plate.
Is Number Plate Mandatory for Electric Cars?
Every vehicle in India is required to have a number plate, and e-vehicles are no exception. For security purposes, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways in India has implemented updates to the regulations governing electric vehicle (EV) registration plates.
Here are some crucial points:
- Originally, EV plates were distinguished by a green bar at the bottom left-hand side, setting them apart from traditional petrol and diesel vehicles.
- The privately owned e-car number plate is green with numbers inscribed in white.
- The number plates for commercial EVs are green, but the numbers inscribed are in yellow.
Conclusion
Complying with these rules can help avoid legal complications. You must invest in a car insurance policy to safeguard your finances against unforeseen mishaps involving your vehicle. Purchase a comprehensive insurance plan to enjoy your rides with peace of mind.
