India may give foreigners and Indians driving licences in different colour schemes

The government is considering issuing driving licences in distinct colour schemes depending on whether the holder is an Indian citizen or a foreign national. The proposed differentiation would make it easier to identify the status of a licence holder at a glance. The change is being explored as part of ongoing efforts to modernise driving licence design and documentation. Officials have not yet finalised the specific colours or the timeline for implementation. The move is aimed at improving clarity for enforcement agencies and other authorities checking licences.
