A homeowner in Warangal building a small extension spent two days trying to book sand through an old bookmarked link — the page either redirected nowhere or showed an outdated layout. The portal had moved, again. The current, correct address turned out to be a completely different URL than what most search results still show.
SSMMS (Sand Sale Management and Monitoring System) is the regulatory framework; Mana Isuka Vahanam (మన ఇసుక వాహనం, “My Sand Vehicle”) is the citizen-facing application built on it — together they let any Telangana resident book sand online at a government-regulated price, with delivery tracking, instead of relying on unregulated local sand suppliers.
Operated by: Telangana State Minerals Development Corporation (TSMDC) and the Department of Mines and Geology, in technical partnership with the Centre for Good Governance (CGG).
Current Official Portal: tsmiv.cgg.gov.in
Quick Answer: Book sand: tsmiv.cgg.gov.in → Login (mobile number + 4-digit PIN) → “Book Sand” → select stockyard → enter delivery details → Confirm New user: Register first with mobile number → OTP verification → set PIN Track order: Same portal → Tracking section → enter Order ID Coverage: Currently operational in 12 districts of Telangana (not yet statewide) Delivery: Typically within 24 hours of confirmed booking
⭐ Multiple URLs Over the Years — Use Only the Current One
This is the single biggest source of confusion for sand booking searches:
| Era | URL | Status |
|---|---|---|
| Earlier | sand.telangana.gov.in | Outdated/superseded |
| Earlier | tsmdc.telangana.gov.in | Outdated/superseded |
| Intermediate | onlinebooking.sand.telangana.gov.in | Intermediate version |
| Current | tsmiv.cgg.gov.in | ✅ Use this |
The platform has been rebuilt and migrated multiple times as “Mana Isuka Vahanam” matured from its May 2019 pilot launch into a full statewide system — it won the National eGovernance Award 2021 for this evolution. If an old bookmark isn’t working, this is almost always why — switch to tsmiv.cgg.gov.in directly.
⭐ Coverage — Not Yet All Districts
Mana Isuka Vahanam currently operates in 12 districts of Telangana — not the entire state. If you’re in a district outside this coverage, online booking may not be available yet; check with your local mandal office or TSMDC for current sand availability arrangements in your area.

⭐ Bulk Booking — Tipper Vehicle Integration (2024-25 Update)
A significant 2024-25 improvement: tipper vehicle integration, allowing citizens and contractors to book larger quantities of sand efficiently in a single transaction — useful for bigger construction projects rather than repeated small bookings. This sits alongside a stream-wise sand volume tracking feature, which lets officials monitor total sand excavated from specific river sources against what’s actually delivered to customers — a transparency measure most older guides don’t mention.
Tracking Your Order
Step 1: tsmiv.cgg.gov.in → “Tracking” section
Step 2: Select “Track Your Order”
Step 3: Enter your Order ID (or mobile number/vehicle number, depending on the option shown)
Step 4: Click “Search” / “Get Status”
Step 5: View current delivery status
Interstate orders: If your sand order involves an interstate component, a separate “Track Inter Order” option using your Inter Order ID is available on the same portal.
⭐ Cancellation and Refund
Customers can cancel a booked trip directly through the Mana Isuka Vahanam application, within their login. For refunds on cancelled trips: You must provide your bank details at the time of submitting the cancellation/refund request — without this, the refund cannot be processed.
Documents Required (Bulk Registration)
For bulk sand booking (typically for contractors/larger projects), additional documentation is generally required beyond standard customer registration — specific requirements are listed on the portal’s bulk booking section and may include business/contractor identification. Check the current bulk registration page on tsmiv.cgg.gov.in for the exact list, as requirements have been updated periodically.
Common Problems + Fix
“Old bookmarked sand booking link doesn’t work”: The platform has migrated URLs multiple times. Use tsmiv.cgg.gov.in directly — this is the current, correct address.
“My district doesn’t show booking availability”: Mana Isuka Vahanam currently covers 12 districts, not the entire state. Check with your local mandal/TSMDC office if your district isn’t yet covered.
“Forgot my 4-digit PIN”: Use the password/PIN recovery option on the login page, typically via OTP to your registered mobile number.
“Need a large quantity for a construction project”: Use the bulk booking option with tipper vehicle integration, introduced in the 2024-25 update, rather than placing multiple small individual orders.
“Cancelled an order but haven’t received a refund”: Confirm you provided your bank details at the time of submitting the cancellation — refunds cannot be processed without this information.
“Tracking shows no update for my order”: Allow some time for status updates to sync; if there’s a genuine delay beyond the typical 24-hour delivery window, contact TSMDC or your local stockyard directly with your Order ID.
FAQ
What is the difference between SSMMS and Mana Isuka Vahanam? SSMMS (Sand Sale Management and Monitoring System) is the overall regulatory framework. Mana Isuka Vahanam is the specific citizen-facing application/portal built to implement it — they refer to the same underlying system in practice.
What is the current official sand booking website for Telangana? tsmiv.cgg.gov.in — older URLs like sand.telangana.gov.in or tsmdc.telangana.gov.in may no longer reflect the current system.
Is sand booking available in all Telangana districts? No — currently operational in 12 districts. Coverage may expand over time; check the portal for your specific district’s status.
How long does delivery take after booking? Typically within 24 hours of a confirmed booking, though this can vary by stockyard availability and demand.
Can I book sand in bulk for a large project? Yes — the 2024-25 update introduced tipper vehicle integration specifically for efficient bulk booking.
How do I get a refund after cancelling an order? Cancel through your Mana Isuka Vahanam login, and provide your bank details during the cancellation/refund submission — this is required for the refund to be processed.
Official Links
| Purpose | Link |
|---|---|
| Mana Isuka Vahanam (Current Portal) | tsmiv.cgg.gov.in |
| TSMDC (Parent Corporation) | tsmdc.telangana.gov.in (informational; use tsmiv.cgg.gov.in for booking) |
The Warangal homeowner finally found the working link, registered in under five minutes, and had sand delivered to his site the next morning — at the government-listed price, with a proper receipt for his records.
If you need sand for construction in Telangana, bookmark tsmiv.cgg.gov.in specifically — not any of the older URLs still circulating in search results — and confirm your district is within the current 12-district coverage before assuming the service isn’t available to you.
