Every year we travel more or less. When we plan a trip within the country, we try to know a lot about the destination in advance from the internet or any other source. Transportation is a very important issue for everyone when it comes to travel. Here you will find information about the names of the capitals of the states and union territories of India, the RTO code of motor vehicles, and the official website of the Department of Transport. As Indians, this is the information we should know. Which can be used for tourism and educational purposes.
The total States and UT’s
Here you will find accurate information about the capitals and vehicle RTO codes of Indian states and union territories for transport services and their website in 2021. At Present India now has 28 States and 9 Union Territories. The erstwhile state of Jammu and Kashmir has been bifurcated into two Union Territories (UT) of J&K and Ladakh. The newly formed union territories have been formed under a reorganization act passed by the Parliament on 5-6 August 2020. At present India has a total of 9 Union Territories.
What is RTO
The Government of India has the obligation of keeping an information base of the multitude of vehicles and the drivers in India and this obligation is done by each State and Union Territories through their RTO or Regional Transport Authority. The top of an RTO is the Transport Commissioner who manages all such exercises identified with the protection of the information of vehicles employed on the Indian Road, issuance of licenses and allows in India and every single related confirmation.

Why is this important to us?
Any type of transport is a very important sector associated with travel and tourism. We have to use any road transport like bus, auto, car when we travel or go to any place of interest. In a hurry, some of us may forget to take the details of the vehicle and the contact number of the driver. But when we are using the car in any state or union territory, the details should always be kept from any beginning. We can take a picture of that car or record it in a travel diary. It will be much easier to find the car in our crowd. We can also get a lot of information from the transport website of that state or union territory.
