RLA conducted the auction for new series “CH01-CP” and left-over fancy/special registration numbers of previous series from Saturday to Monday
Vehicle number “0008” of CH01-CP series raked in the highest bid of ₹25.43 lakh, 50 times the reserve price of ₹50,000, during the latest e-auction of fancy numbers conducted by the Registering and Licensing Authority (RLA).
The authority conducted the auction for new series “CH01-CP” and left-over fancy/special registration numbers of previous series from Saturday to Monday.
Registration number “CH01-CP- 0005” fetched the second highest bid of ₹25.05 lakh, while “CH01-CP-0001” came in at the third spot, with ₹17.50 lakh as the winning bid.
A total of 577 registration numbers were auctioned, fetching the RLA a total revenue of ₹2.68 crore.
The auction results have been uploaded on the RLA website and successful bidders will also be informed through phone and e-mail.
In the last e-auction held in December 2022, RLA had earned a total ₹1.81 crore, with “CH01-CN-0001” receiving the highest bid of ₹15.20 lakh.
For long, the number “0001” remained the most sought-after by vehicle owners. The highest bid for the number came in 2012 when a resident of Sector 44 spent ₹26.05 lakh for “CH01-AP-0001” for his S-class Mercedes Benz that cost four times more.
