Goa Legal Metrology notifies calibration centres for vehicle tanks, including Kushavati district

24 September 2026

The Controller, Legal Metrology, Goa, notified the offices where vehicle tanks must be calibrated.
In North Goa District, tanks registered with the Transport Authorities of Pernem, Bardez, Bicholim and Tiswadi taluka will be calibrated at the Office of the Inspector, Legal Metrology, Mapusa – I, Dattawadi, Mapusa.
For South Goa and Kushavati Districts, tanks registered in talukas including Ponda, Salcete, Quepem and Canacona will be calibrated at the Office of the Inspector, Legal Metrology, Margao – I, opposite Railway Station, Margao.
The notice names Kushavati as a district alongside North Goa and South Goa.

North Goa centre: Mapusa – I, Dattawadi, Mapusa South Goa and Kushavati centre: Margao – I, opposite Railway Station

Why it matters for exams: Goa's districts (North Goa, South Goa and the new Kushavati) and the role of legal metrology in weights and measures are useful state-focus facts.
