Bhubaneswar: Mo Seva Kendras have also started facility for High-Security Registration Plate (HSRP) booking across the state.Vehicle owners can apply HSRP in the nearby Mo Seva Kendra as per their convenience. Till now the booking facility was available only on online portal- siam.in and vehicle owners were booking themselves.

The OEMs were also instructed to organise camps / temporary fitment centre at 88 locations and at other places of the State i.e. important Government / private establishments where the dealers network of all OEMs are not available. The OEMs through their authorised vendors have opened camp fitment centre / temporary fitment centre at all these 88 locations and have also started fitment of HSRP at these locations. In addition to this fitment facility at some RTO offices are also being provided by some OEMs.
