What Does An Arrow Number Plate Mean?

Arrow number plates featuring an upward-facing Broad Arrow symbol are exclusively for Indian Armed Forces vehicles and cannot be used by civilians. Unlike regular registrations issued by the Regional Transport Office, these military plates follow a distinct Ministry of Defence format, with the arrow followed by codes identifying purchase year, category, and vehicle serial number.
