What Odisha truck owners need to track

i3MS registration

Trucks carrying minerals are registered on the state's i3MS portal, and the portal lists a fee of Rs. 500 per truck.

Transporter registration

A transport business has a separate registration with its own fee, deposit and validity.

The 2025 mineral rules

New rules notified in November 2025 will add a tracking unit, an RFID tag and an e-Transit Pass once the government appoints a start date.

Truck documents

Permit, tax, fitness and insurance records must be current for registration and at every check.
