About this plate
THE GREEN PLATE. Its own series and not a colour variant of the standard one, because its PERIOD differs: rule 50(2A) was inserted by G.S.R. 749(E) and came into force on publication, 7 August 2018, before that date a battery-operated vehicle took the ordinary white or yellow plate, and green plates on the road are therefore a hard 2018-or-later signal. The mark itself is unchanged: same state code, same district, same series, same serial, so a green plate carries no serial-level tell at all.
