The Punjab govt has made it possible for residents of the state to secure High Security Registration Plates (HSRP) on vehicles online. Thus far, 64,24,336 automobiles throughout the state have had HSRP fitted as part of this effort.
While providing this information, Punjab Transport Minister Laljit Singh Bhullar stated that M/s Agros Impex India Private Limited, whose tender ended on January 8, 2026, was using an online procedure to install HSRP on vehicles registered in the state.

According to the Cabinet Minister, car owners can now apply online via the SIAM/High Security Registration Plate portal, http://www.siam.in, to have HSRP installed on their vehicles. He went on to say that car owners can apply for HSRP from the comfort of their own homes because the entire procedure is done online.
