New Delhi: Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has said that the ministry has formalised the registration process of vintage motor vehicles in India. The government has taken the step to preserve and promote the heritage of vintage vehicles, the minister added.   Taking the announcement to Twitter, Gadkari pointed out that with no existing rules for regulating the process of registration across different states, the new rules shall provide a hassle-free process along with salient features such as retention of old numbers for already registered vehicles. The ministry has also issued a “VA” series (Unique Registration Mark) for fresh registrations. For formalising the registration process of vintage motor vehicles, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has amended CMVR 1989. Under new rules, all 50-year-old two or four vehicles maintained in their original form be defined as vintage motor vehicles. However, vehicles that have undergone substantial overhaul will not be categorised as vintage motor vehicles.
