ACCORDING to the Depart­ment of Road Transport Admin­istration under the Ministry of Transport and Communications, classic motor vehicles whose registration (licence) has been cancelled will be allowed to un­dergo re-registration.

This measure is being car­ried out to preserve classic mo­tor vehicles as valuable heritage and to officially record them as historic vehicles.

The re-registration (licens­ing) applies to vehicles of the 1980 model year and earlier whose previous registrations were cancelled because the owners failed to renew their registration before it expired.

Only vehicles that had been previously registered will be eligible for re-registration, and new registration numbers (not the original old numbers) will be issued. Classic vehicles which have never been regis­tered before will not be granted registration (licences).

Re-registration services will be available from 1 Decem­ber 2025 to 31 March 2026 at the respective offices of the Road Transport Administration De­partment in each region, state and district. — ASH/KNN
