BRANDED CAR TO FERRY VIP DURING CWG.

You may find luxury cars sporting unique numbers ferrying delegates during the Commonwealth Games.

Delhi Government has proposed an exclusive registration number series for the 2000-odd cars the Commonwealth Games organising committee (OC) is procuring for VIPs.

The series is likely to start with the letters CWG, abbreviation for the sporting event used globally, followed by numbers 0-2000, a senior Delhi government official said.


While no final decision has been taken yet, chances are that these vehicles will continue to have this special number as legacy of the Games.

These cars would be ‘sponsored’ by one of the three Indian car manufacturers. Since these cars would be later sold through dealers, the OC wants brand-value associated with the fleet.

During the Melbourne Games, Toyota had sponsored cars and later sold them as special edition cars.

The transport department has already written to the ministry of road transport and highways seeking its permission to start this series of unique numbers.
