The Chandigarh transport department has announced a new round of e-auction for fancy vehicle registration numbers, launching bids for the new CH01DE series. This auction will also include unsold premium numbers from previous series, such as CH01DD, CH01DC, CH01DB, and CH01DA. The bidding process has historically attracted intense competition, with high-profile buyers willing to pay substantial amounts for coveted numbers. For instance, during the last auction in March, former mayor Davesh Moudgil purchased the CH01-DD-0001 number for a record-breaking ₹54 lakh (approximately $65,000 USD), marking the highest bid since the auctioning of fancy numbers began in Chandigarh in 2002. Registrations for the upcoming auction will commence on May 29, from 10 am to 5 pm, and the online bidding will take place from May 30 to June 1. Interested participants must register on the Vahan portal of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways to obtain a Unique Acknowledgement Number (UAN).
