What is the RTO code of Telangana?
The RTO code of Telangana is TG. In March 2024 the Government of India allotted the group of letters TG in place of TS as the registration mark of Telangana, and the state notified the new registering authority codes in the Telangana Gazette (G.O.Ms.No.11, Transport, Roads and Buildings Department, 14 March 2024). New vehicles are now registered with a number plate that starts with TG, while vehicles registered earlier continue to carry TS.
The state has 33 districts and the gazette lists 38 registering authority codes, from TG 01 to TG 38. Hyderabad has six codes, TG 09 to TG 14, because of its large number of vehicles. Use the list below to search any Telangana RTO code or district.
No matching RTO or code found. Try a different word.
Codes are as per the Telangana Gazette Extraordinary No. 157 dated 14 March 2024 (G.O.Ms.No.11, Transport, Roads and Buildings Department). TG-09 to TG-14 are all for Hyderabad. Confirm any code on the Parivahan portal before you use it.
