Cabinet Spokesman says Govt. ends a long-standing monopoly in number plate supply Notes new licence plates will not increase costs to vehicle owners, aims to improve State revenue collection

THE Cabinet of Ministers on Monday approved awarding the procurement contract for the printing and supply of vehicle number plates to M/s South Asian Technologies Ltd., in a move aimed at resolving prolonged shortages and delays in the country's vehicle registration system.

Addressing the weekly post-Cabinet media briefing yesterday, Cabinet Spokesman and Minister Dr. Nalinda Jayatissa said the decision comes amid a surge in vehicle registrations following the lifting of import controls in 2025, which led to a sharp influx of new vehicles and exposed weaknesses in the existing system.
