Starting January 2005, all the 80 million vehicles in India will sport new, high-security licence plates. Embedded on these plates will be a 9-digit-code-on-a-chip that when used with a tracking device will help the police pinpoint the exact location of your car in the eventuality that it gets stolen or lost (believe me, the latter can happen).
Changing a 160 million licence plates, I bet, is something the local RTOs must be looking forward to. =)
