Number plate CH01-DD-0001 was sold for \u20b953.88 lakh in the e-auction conducted by the Registering and Licensing Authority (RL). This is the highest price of any vehicle number plate in the history of Chandigarh.<\/p>\n<p>The auction ran from March 4 to March 6, 2026, and included the fancy and choice numbers of the new CH01-DD series (from 0001 to 9999) along with the leftover numbers from the previous series. A total of 591 numbers were sold and this brought a record income of \u20b94.48 crore to RLA, which is the highest ever collection in a single auction in Chandigarh.<\/p>\n<h2>Lined up for CH01-DD-0001<\/h2>\n<p>Tremendous competition was seen for the number CH01-DD-0001. Being the top number of the 0001 series, it was very popular because people associate it with status symbol, luck and prestige. The previous record was for CH01-DA-0001 in August 2025 at \u20b936.43 lakh, which was easily broken by this auction. Among other top numbers, CH01-DD-0003 was sold for \u20b932.32 lakh and CH01-DD-0005 was also sold at a good price. See the complete list-<\/p>\n<h3>expensive car number<\/h3>\n<p>This number has been bought by former mayor and BJP leader Davesh Moudgil. He took it for his Toyota Fortuner Legender (which is worth around \u20b950 lakh). The interesting thing is that the price of the number plate exceeded the price of the car. He told that it is a symbol of status and identity for him and he had wanted it for a long time.<\/p>\n<h3>Craze for fancy numbers in Chandigarh<\/h3>\n<p>In the last few years, the craze for fancy numbers has increased rapidly in Chandigarh. People prefer 0001, 9999, repeating numbers (like 7777, 1111) or easy-to-remember combinations. The e-auction process of RLA is transparent, wherein any registered person can bid online. The minimum reserve price usually starts at \u20b950,000, but competition causes prices to skyrocket.<\/p>\n<p>This incident reflects the growing popularity of the vehicle number plate market in India. VIP numbers are sold in crores in Delhi, Mumbai and other cities too, but this record of Chandigarh brings it to second place. The government treasury has benefited from this record collection of RLA and this fund can be used for transportation facilities.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<section id=\"bottomNavDetails\" class=\"jsx-1293521762\">\n<div class=\"jsx-1293521762 atbtlink Location\"><span class=\"jsx-1293521762\">Location:<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span class=\"jsx-1293521762 link\">New Delhi,<\/span><span class=\"jsx-1293521762 link\">New Delhi,<\/span><span class=\"jsx-1293521762 link\">Delhi<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"jsx-1293521762 atbtlink fp\"><span class=\"jsx-1293521762\">First Published:<\/span><\/p>\n<div class=\"jsx-1293521762 rs\">\n<p>March 07, 2026, 18:05 IST<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/section>\n<\/div>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/hindi.news18.com\/news\/auto\/cars-chandigarh-fancy-number-plate-auction-ch01-dd-0001-sold-53-88-lakh-record-ws-kl-10250496.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Source link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Last Updated:March 07, 2026, 18:05 IST The price of a vehicle number plate in Chandigarh has surprised everyone.
