Bhubaneswar: The Odisha government has notified revised fare rates for motor cabs and three-wheelers across the state, effective February 5, 2026, according to an official order issued by the state authorities.
The updated fare structure covers e-rickshaws, auto-rickshaws, standard cars, luxury cars, and premium luxury vehicles, specifying per-kilometre charges and minimum base fares for each category.
The revised rates are specifically meant for government officials claiming travel allowances, with the objective of standardising reimbursement, improving transparency, and preventing overbilling in official travel expenses.
Revised Fare Schedule
| Sl. No. | Category of Vehicle | Fare per Km | Minimum Fare |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | E-rickshaw / Battery Operated Rickshaw | ₹8 | ₹30 |
| 2 | Auto Rickshaw | ₹9 | ₹30 |
| 3 | All Motor Cars (except Luxury & Premium) | ₹14 | ₹75 |
| 4 | Luxury A/C Cars (Bolero, Neo, Ertiga, etc.) | ₹16 | ₹85 |
| 5 | Premium Luxury Cars (Scorpio, XUV500, Innova, etc.) | ₹19 | ₹100 |
Officials said the move will help streamline administrative processes and bring uniformity in travel claim settlements across departments and reduce discrepancies in claims submitted by government employees.
The order is part of broader administrative reforms to rationalise government expenditure and improve accountability in official travel processes.
