Quick Answer: Apply for an HSRP number plate in Odisha online via the Book HSRP link on the Odisha Motor Vehicle Department website. No state-wide fee is fixed; a 26 May 2022 State Transport Authority order requires the charge to be shown on the portal and at the dealer's showroom. An authorised dealer fits plates on vehicles registered before 1 April 2019.
A High Security Registration Plate (HSRP) is a type-approved number plate fitted along with a third registration mark, the colour-coded windscreen sticker. In Odisha, every phase of the fitment deadline for older vehicles ended by 31 December 2022, so an Odisha-registered vehicle from before April 2019 without one can be challaned today.

How do you apply for an HSRP number plate in Odisha online?
You apply online, starting from the Odisha Motor Vehicle Department website, and book and pay on the authorised portal it leads to.
- Open the Vehicle Services menu on the department website and choose Book HSRP.
- On the vehicle manufacturers' industry body website that opens, choose Book HSRP, then select Odisha and your city.
- Continue to the authorised booking portal and enter your vehicle's details as printed on your registration certificate.
- Pick any dealer, location and date that suit you; the STA order says the portal must allow this.
- Pay on the portal.
- Take your vehicle to the chosen dealer on the fitment date.
Before you pay, check these, because the order bars fitment without them:
- a valid registration certificate
- no road tax arrears on the vehicle
- a valid fitness certificate, if it is a transport vehicle
Two-wheeler owners follow the same steps; see HSRP number plates for bikes. If you would rather have help with the portal, Jaagruk Bharat offers an assisted HSRP booking service for Odisha vehicles; it is a private helper, not a government body.
Can you get an HSRP fitted at home in Odisha?
Yes, if the dealer offers it. The order lets manufacturers and their authorised dealers fit the plate where you live or run your business, on payment of extra charges, and only if you choose it.
What does an HSRP cost in Odisha?
Odisha has no state-wide HSRP rate card. The STA order fixes no price; dealers must display the fitment charge conspicuously in their showroom and on the booking portal, so you see it before you pay.
No city rate is published either, so an HSRP number plate Odisha price quoted for Bhubaneswar on a private website is not a state figure.
The order routes booking and payment through the authorised portal "to prevent excess charging" from vehicle owners.
Which Odisha vehicles need an HSRP?
An HSRP number plate in Odisha is needed on every vehicle with an Odisha registration mark registered before 1 April 2019, from scooters to trucks. You can read the full rule in STA Order No. 7058 on affixing HSRP to old vehicles.
The order also covers the third registration mark, the windscreen colour sticker. If only your sticker is missing, see the colour-coded fuel sticker service. Vehicles registered on or after 1 April 2019 are not covered by this order.
Only authorised dealers of vehicle manufacturers may fit the plate on old vehicles, and the order directs legal action against unauthorised sellers.
Has the HSRP deadline in Odisha passed?
Yes. The STA set a deadline by the last digit of the registration number, and the last phase closed on 31 December 2022.
| Registration number ends in | Last date to fit HSRP |
|---|---|
| 1 or 2 | 31 August 2022, extended to 30 September 2022 |
| 3 or 4 | 30 September 2022 |
| 5 or 6 | 31 October 2022 |
| 7 or 8 | 30 November 2022 |
| 9 or 0 | 31 December 2022 |
After each date, the order allows e-challans against vehicles still without an HSRP. It states the fine as ₹5,000 or ₹10,000 under Section 192 of the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988, as the case may be. No later extension appears in the Transport Commissioner's orders list on the department website as of 16 September 2026.
How do you check your HSRP status in Odisha?
You check it through the booking portal where you placed the order. The STA order requires that portal to send your order status by SMS. For general tracking steps, see how to check HSRP status and track your order.
Once the plate is fitted, the dealer must update the plate's laser code in VAHAN, the national vehicle registration database. For online services linked to your vehicle's registration, start at Parivahan Sewa, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways portal.
What mistakes should you avoid with an HSRP in Odisha?
- Booking through a search advertisement. Some lookalike sites take payment and never place an order, so start from the government website and learn how HSRP booking scam websites work.
- Paying more than the displayed charge. Save a screenshot of the amount the portal shows, so you can point to it if a dealer asks for more.
- Treating the 2022 phase dates as still open. Every phase ended by 31 December 2022, so an unfitted pre-2019 vehicle can be challaned now.
