Points to be noticed:
When Telangana was formed on 2nd June 2014, they started issuing all their registrations from 'EA' for private vehicles, 'UA' for commercial vehicles and 'PA' for police vehicles. However, they have started the new RTOs with the blank (No letter code) series for private vehicles and 'T' for commercial vehicles

Registration patterns remains the same:
TS-**-**** to TS-**-SZ-****: PRIVATE VEHICLES

T,U,V,W,X,Y for all commercial vehicles (inc. tractors and trailers)
TS-**-T-**** to TS-**-YZ-****: COMMERCIAL VHICLES

TS-09-'PA'-****: TELANGANA POLICE

TS-**-Z-****: TELANGANA STATE TRANSPORT VEHICLES
