MoRTH has formalised registration process of Vintage Motor Vehicles in India, says Nitin Gadkari

The draft rules define vintage motor vehicles as all those vehicles that are two-wheelers and four-wheelers (non-commercial and personal use) and are more than 50 years old from the date of their first registration (including imported vehicles).

Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said his ministry has formalised the registration process of vintage motor vehicles in India, to promote and preserve the heritage of such vehicles. The Centre, in November last year, had said it intends to formalise the registration process of vintage motor vehicles, and had sought public comments on proposed rules regarding this. "With an aim to preserve and promote the heritage of vintage vehicles, the MoRTH has formalised the registration process of vintage motor vehicles in India," Gadkari said in a series of tweets.
