WhatsApp Business API for Barbil's parts shops, workshops, transporters and hotels
Barbil sits in a ring of hills with the Kiriburu range alongside, in a district that lists iron ore and manganese among its minerals. Its customers often write before the shutters go up.
For Barbil, Kendujhar district's Iron Town: motor-parts shops and repair workshops, which the district says have grown across it, transporters on regulated routes, and hotels and cabs for visitors on the Howrah and Puri trains. How long a free reply lasts after a customer writes, and what each message costs.

A Barbil truck owner's 24 hours with a parts shop
A truck owner writes to a Barbil motor-parts shop at seven in the morning. Drag through the next day to see how long the shop can answer freely, and what it needs once the window shuts.
Everything the shop sends in those 24 hours is a reply, charged at the service rate and written in whatever language the owner used, Odia included. The shop's habit worth keeping is to finish inside the window: one clear note before it closes saves a template.
If the driver turns up two days later and the part needs a reminder, that message is outside the window and has to be an approved utility template, in Hindi or English, because Odia is not a template language.

Full details: InfiQ pricing. A truck owner on a Jharkhand number and a guest from Kolkata are both on +91, so they cost the same India rate as a customer in town. Invoices are in rupees and carry your Odisha GSTIN.

Questions Barbil businesses ask
- Q1
Truck owners ask our Barbil motor-parts shop whether a part is in stock before we open. How long can we keep replying without a template?
For 24 hours from the owner's last message. Every answer in that time, with photos and prices, is a reply at ₹0.145, in any language. After it closes, a part-ready note needs an approved utility template at ₹0.19, in Hindi or English.
- Q2
Kendujhar's administration restricts heavy goods vehicles on routes including Bileipada–Champua–Barbil and Joda. Can our transport firm send drivers a changed route on WhatsApp?
Yes, for a trip the driver has already accepted: a route-change note is a utility template at ₹0.19, with the trip, the new route and the timing as variables, approved in Hindi or English. Questions the driver sends back are replies at ₹0.145.
- Q3
Guests reach our Barbil hotel on the Howrah–Barbil Jan Shatabdi. Can we send the station pickup details the evening before, in Bengali?
Yes. Pickup details for a stay the guest booked are a utility template at ₹0.19, and Bengali (bn) is a Meta template language, so a Bengali version can sit beside Hindi and English. Each version is approved separately.
- Q4
Our Barbil repair workshop wants to remind truck owners when their next service is due. Is that a marketing message?
It depends on what it says. A reminder the owner asked for, about his own truck's service, is a utility template at ₹0.19. A discount on servicing, or a note to owners who never asked, is marketing at ₹0.94 and needs a recorded opt-in.
- Q5
Most customers write to our Barbil shop in Odia. Can our order and part-ready templates be in Odia?
No. Odia is not one of Meta's template languages, so templates must be approved in Hindi (hi) or English (en_IN). Every reply inside the 24-hour window can be in Odia, at ₹0.145 each, because replies are not templates.
- Q6
Families from Barbil ask our cab service about the drive to the Murga Mahadev temple and its waterfall. Do our answers need templates?
No. The family wrote first, so the fare, the timing and the route are replies at ₹0.145 each for 24 hours. If they book and you send the pickup time the evening before, that reminder is a utility template at ₹0.19.
