Static IP for algo trading: one dedicated Indian IPv4 for your broker API.
Brokers now reject API orders that do not come from a static IP registered against your API key. HostKarle gives you one dedicated static IPv4 address in Mumbai, India on the internet you already have, including Jio AirFiber and SIM routers. ₹499 a month.
IP location: Mumbai, India · Available anywhere in India
Is a static IP mandatory for algo trading?
Yes, for orders placed through a broker API. SEBI's circular on retail algorithmic trading (4 February 2025) and the exchange standards that followed require every API order to come from a static IP that the client has registered with the broker. After a phased rollout, brokers describe it as fully enforced from 1 April 2026.
How brokers describe the rule:
- Orders only: the check applies to order placement. Market data and manual trading in the app or website are not affected.
- One primary IP per client, plus one optional secondary IP as a backup.
- One change a week: the registered IP can usually be changed only once per calendar week, so an address that changes on its own is a real problem.
- Not shared: an IP registered to one client cannot be registered by another, except close family as each broker allows.
- IPv4 is the safe choice: some brokers accept IPv6 and some accept IPv4 only.
Why home internet fails this rule
Jio AirFiber, Airtel AirFiber, mobile hotspots and many home broadband lines put you behind a shared address that changes. Your orders are rejected after the next reconnect, and you can only fix the registration once a week.
A HostKarle static IP is dedicated to you and does not change, so you register it once. Rules and limits differ slightly by broker: check your broker's help page for its exact terms.
Ways to get a static IP for API trading
The routes traders use, with typical prices seen in November 2026.
| Option | What you get | Typical cost | Catch |
|---|---|---|---|
| Static IP add-on from your broadband provider | A fixed IPv4 on your wired line | About ₹165 to ₹350 a month where offered | Not offered on Jio home plans, AirFiber or SIM internet |
| Cloud server | A fixed IP on a rented server; you run your code there | About ₹400 to ₹1,000 a month | You must set up and maintain a server |
| Shared proxy sellers | A proxy address for your API calls | About ₹200 to ₹300 a month | Proxy settings in your code; check the IP is truly dedicated to you |
| HostKarle App plan | One dedicated IPv4 on your own Windows PC, any internet | ₹499 a month | KYC required; Windows only |
If your wired broadband provider sells a static IP add-on and it works, that is usually the cheapest route. HostKarle is for traders whose connection cannot get one, or who want an address that survives a change of provider.
Use it with your broker's API
You register the IP yourself in your broker's API or developer console. We give you the address and help with the setup on your PC.
Zerodha Kite Connect
Add your static IP against your Kite Connect app in the developer console. Zerodha's help pages say the IP can come from a service provider.
Upstox
Register the primary static IP for your API app; a secondary IP can be added as a backup.
Angel One SmartAPI
Set the primary static IP for your SmartAPI key. IPv4 is required.
Dhan
Add the static IP in the DhanHQ API settings before placing orders by API.
Fyers, 5paisa, Kotak Neo and others
The same rule applies across brokers. Kotak Neo also expects the login session and the orders to come from the same IP.
Algo platforms and your own scripts
Python scripts, Amibroker or TradingView bridges and desktop algo tools running on your PC all send orders from the static IP.

App plan
₹499 per month
One Windows computer gets the static IP. Nothing to install at your site except a small app.
- 1 dedicated static IPv4 address in Mumbai, India
- For 1 Windows computer
- Best for IP whitelisting: broker APIs, portals, payment and bank APIs
- You choose which websites or apps use the static IP
- No hardware, no deposit
- Set up over WhatsApp or remote support
Router plan
₹799 per month
A pre-configured router makes the static IP work for your whole site, with inbound ports opened to your devices.
- 1 dedicated static IPv4 address in Mumbai, India
- For the whole office, shop or site: every device behind the router
- Inbound port forwarding to your CCTV recorder, server, PC or attendance machine
- Pre-configured router sent to you: plug it into your existing internet box
- Refundable router deposit of ₹5,999, returned when you send the router back in working condition
- Remote setup help and changes to forwarded ports on request
For algo trading the App plan is enough: your PC only needs to send orders out from one fixed address. Choose the Router plan if several computers at your site must share the same static IP.
KYC is mandatory
Every static IP is registered to a verified customer before it is activated. We ask for your name, address, mobile number, an identity document (Aadhaar or PAN for a person, GST or company registration for a business) and what you will use the IP for. This is not an anonymity service, and spam, hacking, fraud or anything illegal in India gets the IP suspended. Full details are on the main static IP page.

Is a static IP mandatory for algo trading in India?
Yes for API orders. Under SEBI's retail algo trading framework, brokers accept API orders only from a static IP that you have registered against your API key, and they describe it as fully enforced from 1 April 2026. Manual trading in the broker app or website does not need it.
How do I get a static IP for algo trading on Jio AirFiber?
Jio AirFiber home plans do not offer a static IP. Add a HostKarle static IP on top: we assign you a dedicated IPv4 address and set up a small app on your Windows PC, then you register that address with your broker.
How much does a static IP for algo trading cost?
The HostKarle App plan is ₹499 a month with no deposit. Cheaper shared-proxy services exist at about ₹200 to ₹300 a month, and a broadband add-on costs about ₹165 to ₹350 a month where your provider offers one.
Will Zerodha accept this static IP?
Zerodha's help pages say the static IP can come from a service provider and that proof of ownership is not needed, only that the IP is not already registered to another client. Your HostKarle IP is dedicated to you. We have not yet published a test with each broker, so place a small test order after registering.
Is the IP dedicated or shared?
Dedicated. One IPv4 address is assigned to one customer. Brokers reject an IP that is already registered to someone else, so a shared address would not work.
Can I use one static IP for my family's accounts?
Brokers allow the same IP for close family (spouse, dependent children and dependent parents), each with its own process. Ask your broker how to link the accounts.
Can I change the static IP later?
Your HostKarle IP stays the same while your plan is active. Brokers usually allow one IP change per calendar week on their side, which is why an address that never changes matters.
Is it IPv4 or IPv6?
IPv4. Some brokers accept IPv6 and some do not, so IPv4 is the one that works everywhere.
Does all my internet go through the static IP?
No. Only the trading software you choose uses the static IP. Your browsing and streaming stay on your normal connection.
Does it add delay to my orders?
A little. In our test on Jio AirFiber, traffic through the static IP added about 15 ms. This is fine for most retail strategies; it is not meant for latency-sensitive trading.
Is KYC required?
Yes. KYC is mandatory for every static IP: name, address, phone number, Aadhaar or PAN and the purpose. The IP is activated only after KYC is complete.
Where is the static IP located?
The IP address is located in Mumbai, India, and IP lookup tools show it as an Indian address in Mumbai. The service itself is available anywhere in India: your site can be in any state, on any internet connection. Setup is done remotely, and the router for the Router plan is sent to you by courier.
