The transport department of Gautam Budh Nagar in Noida has introduced a new number series - UDP - for the registration of vehicles starting Monday. The main goal behind introducing this new number series is to make the registration process more organized and convenient for the citizens. According to Siyaram Verma, assistant regional transport officer (ARTO-administration), the district transport office has been registering vehicles under the UDN series so far but will now be switching to the UDP series.
This new number series also offers an option for citizens to book fancy numbers for their vehicles on www.parivahan.gov.in. The fancy numbers are divided into four categories, each with different base prices ranging from Rs 3,000 to Rs 1 lakh. This is an exciting opportunity for citizens to personalize their vehicles with unique numbers.
