Govt issues draft notification to formalise movement of foreign personal vehicles

On Thursday The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) issued a draft notification to formalise the movement of personal vehicles registered in other countries when entering or plying in Indian territory.

In a draft notification, the MoRTH said the vehicle operating in Indian territory shall carry a valid registration certificate.

The vehicle also has to carry a valid insurance policy and driving licence or international driving permit, whichever is applicable. The vehicle also needs valid pollution under control certificate (if applicable in the origin country).

In case the documents are in a language other than English, then an authorized English translation, duly authenticated by the issuing authority, shall be carried along with the original documents.

Motor vehicles registered in any country other than India shall not be permitted to transport local passengers and goods within the territory of India, it added.
