Pune RTO Proposes New MH-12 1A Series Amid Temporary MH-61 Registration Use
Pune's MH-12 vehicle registration series is nearing exhaustion, prompting the Pune RTO to propose a new 'MH-12 1A' format combining a digit and letter to retain the original code. Due to technical delays, the new format is not yet implemented, leading to the temporary use of the MH-61 series to avoid registration disruptions. Vehicle owners with MH-61 registrations can later transfer to the MH-12 1A series upon its launch, ensuring continuity of Pune's vehicle identity.
