ISO 3166-2:IN

Main article: ISO 3166-2

ISO 3166-2:IN is the entry for India in ISO 3166-2, part of the ISO 3166 standard published by the International Organization for Standardization (ISO), which defines codes for the names of the principal subdivisions (e.g., provinces or states) of all countries coded in ISO 3166-1.

Currently for India, ISO 3166-2 codes are defined for 29 states and 7 Union territories.

Each code consists of two parts, separated by a hyphen. The first part is IN, the ISO 3166-1 alpha-2 code of India. The second part is two letters, currently used in vehicle registration plates, with some exceptions.

Notes

  2. ↑ Changed its name from Orissa to Odisha in 2011. OD replaced OR as vehicle registration code, but not as ISO 3166-2 code.[1][2]
  3. ↑ Code inconsistent with vehicle registration code, which is TS.[3][4]
  4. ↑ Code inconsistent with vehicle registration code, which is UK. Before the state's rename from Uttaranchal to Uttarakhand in 2007, the vehicle registration code was UA and the ISO 3166-2 code was IN-UL.
