Ban on non-electric 2-wheeler registration in Chandigarh put buyers in fix

Hundreds of customers are in a fix due to the Chandigarh administration’s policy of stopping registration of petrol-powered two-wheelers for the rest of the 2022-23 fiscal, according to sources.

As per the notice by the Registration and Licensing Authority (RLA), the registration of ICE (internal combustion engine) two-wheelers in the city has been stopped since February 10 for this fiscal ending March.

According to industry sources, people who have bought two-wheelers are now unable to get their High-Security Number Plates (HSRP) and physical RC copies, and use their new vehicles as dealers are not able to complete the registration process on the Vahan portal.
