What's the importance of HSRP?

An HSRP is a chromium-based hologram applied by hot stamping on the number plates both at the front and back besides laser-branding of a permanent identification number.

HSRPs have certain security features and are protected against counterfeiting. The plates are fastened with non-removable/non-reusable snap lock fitting system.

There are around 300 dealerships of original equipment manufacturers that have been brought on the online platform of HSRP suppliers, to give vehicle owners adequate options for HSRP and sticker affixation.
