The Telangana government on Thursday ordered that the number plates of all vehicles in Telangana displaying AP be changed to TS within four months.
According to the orders of the Telangana State Transport Department, the State code AP will be replaced with TS, and the district codes will be changed accordingly, while the 4-digit number will be remain same.
The officials said that a period of 4 months has been given to vehicle owners of Telangana to change to the new pattern.
All vehicles with the state code AP in Telangana will be given a temporary RC that the owners can download from the transport department website. The owners then need to apply for permanent RCs, and at the time of getting the permanent RCs, need to change the registration number on their vehicles.
To this effect, the Telangana Government amended the Telangana Motor Vehicle Rules, 1989.
