Hanamkonda: A swanky vehicle number plate, TGA 03A 9999, went for a whopping ₹12.6 lakh in Hanamkonda’s RTA auction, turning heads across Telangana.
The bidding, held online at Chintagattu Camp in Hasanparthi Mandal, started at a modest ₹50,000 but shot up as buyers battled it out.
Kaveri Engineering, a local outfit, snagged the prized digits, setting a new high for the district’s transport office.
Fancy number plates are all the rage now, with Telugu news channels buzzing about big-ticket auctions, like actor Nandamuri Balakrishna’s ₹7.75 lakh grab for TG09 F0001.
Warangal folks on X are abuzz, some chuckling over these “lakhpati” plates while others call it a rich man’s game.
