Why These Services Are Essential for Odisha in 2025
Odisha’s 30+ RTOs (e.g., OD-01 Bhubaneswar) support booming freight (NH-16 corridor) and tourism, but interstate ops require national permits for seamless multi-state travel. Goods carrier registration ensures compliance with emission norms (BS-VI). 2025 updates: Virtual STA hearings (e.g., March 21 cause list); one-time settlement for old challans up to July 31 (50% off); mandatory GPS for national permits; EV goods vehicles get 50% fee rebate.
