The Chandigarh Administration has begun the process of affixing colour coded stickers on vehicles in the city. The colour-coded or fuel stickers are an identification mark for the type of fuel the vehicle uses.
As per the directions of the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, the affixation of High Security Registration Plate (HSRP) and third registration mark (colour coded sticker) on the vehicles (old and new) has been made mandatory in the country.
Vehicles that run on petrol or CNG carry blue-coloured stickers while the ones that run on diesel carry orange-coloured ones. All the other types of fuel vehicles will carry grey-coloured stickers.
These stickers carry vehicle details like registration number, registering authority, a laser-branded PIN, and the vehicle’s engine and chassis numbers.
