Plate Indian
Why do Indian Army, Navy and Air Force vehicles have a vertical arrow painted on their registration plates?
All Indian vehicles of the defense forces have a vertical arrow painted before the start of their alpha numeric registration plates. What is the reasoning behind this
If it's the same arrow as once used by the British, then it's probably just a hangover from the past and that India kept the vertical arrow to signify that something belonged to the government.
In the picture at the link below, you'll see a British military arrow with the letters W D meaning War Department - which we now call the Ministry of Defence.
