The process to provide embossed number plates for the vehicles applying for renewal of their registration is underway, he said. The contracting company has sent the plates to the transport management office. The implementation of the system got delayed due to court cases relating to the issue and global COVID-19, he said.

The issue of introducing embossed number plates

“Embossed number plate will be installed on vehicles, and Smart Card will replace the existing driving license” was one of the policies under the Three-Year Interim Plan (2007/08-2009/10) introduced by the National Planning Commission. It was eight years later that the Department of Transport Management (DoTM), in 2015, called a tender to craft and distribute embossed number plates. It was awarded to Decatur-Tiger IT, a Bangladeshi company, on May 30, 2016, at $44 million. As per the contract, 2.5 million vehicles were to be equipped with embossed number plates by mid-September, 2021. The deadline was extended by two years and four months until mid-November, 2023.
