Telangana Vehicle District Finder: A Complete Guide to RTO Codes and Number Plate Identification

Vehicle registration numbers in India contain crucial information about the vehicle’s origin, including the state and district where it was registered. In Telangana, every vehicle number plate begins with “TG” (denoting the state) followed by a two-digit district code (e.g., TG-07 for Ranga Reddy).

This article explains:
✔ How Telangana vehicle registration codes work
✔ How to identify the district from a number plate
✔ A complete list of Telangana RTO district codes
✔ How to use the Telangana Vehicle District Finder tool

How Telangana Vehicle Number Plates Work

A standard Telangana vehicle number plate follows this format:

TG-##-XX-####

• TG = Telangana state code
• = District code (e.g., 07 for Ranga Reddy)
• XX = Series letters (randomly assigned)
• = Unique vehicle number

Example:

• TG 07 AB 1234 → Registered in Ranga Reddy (TG-07)
• TG 09 P 5678 → Hyderabad Police vehicle (special code)

How to Find a Vehicle’s District Using the Code

Each district in Telangana has a unique code. Here’s how you can decode it manually:

1. Look at the first four characters after “TG”:

• TG-01 → Adilabad
• TG-07 → Ranga Reddy
• TG-09 to TG-14 → Hyderabad (multiple codes)

2. Special Cases:

• Hyderabad Police vehicles start with TG-09 P
• TG-09 to TG-14 all belong to Hyderabad (due to high vehicle registrations)

3. Use the Telangana Vehicle District Finder Tool (see below)
