India has become the country with the largest road network in the world.
By December 2024, the total length of roads in the country will exceed 6.62 million kilometers, including about 14.6 million kilometers of national highways.
Millions of trucks and commercial vehicles travel on these roads every year. In the financial year 2024-25 alone, around 95.7 million commercial vehicles were sold in India.
These roads carry 70% of the country’s freight and 85% of passenger traffic, showing how much India’s business and daily life depend on road transport.
Challenges for Transport and Logistics
Despite the extensive road network, transport and logistics companies face a common problem: small expenses along the way.
Drivers often need cash to recharge their FASTags for tolls or parking. Cash shortages can cause delays and financial losses for businesses.
OmniCard Introduces UPI AutoPay FASTag
To solve these problems, OmniCard has launched India’s first UPI AutoPay-based FASTag, designed specifically for businesses and transport companies.
Key Features of the New FASTag
Automatic Recharging: Drivers no longer need to manually recharge FASTags; payments are automatically handled via UPI AutoPay.
Custom Limits: Companies can set pre-defined auto-recharge limits.
Instant Notifications: Every toll and parking payment triggers an instant alert.
Detailed Accounting: Transactions can be tagged by vehicle, driver, and trip. Reports are automatically generated for audit and compliance.
Spending Controls: Smart controls help monitor expenses and prevent misuse.
OmniCard COO and Co-Founder Abhishek Saxena told News18 India that lakhs of truck drivers in the country face daily delays and losses.
This FASTag system will make their work and businesses much easier.
iFleet Pay Integration
The FASTag is integrated with the iFleet Pay platform, offering a single platform for:
Trip tracking
Geo-fencing
Driver control
Expense management
With this system, truck and commercial vehicle drivers no longer need to worry about recharging FASTags or carrying cash.
The UPI AutoPay system takes care of everything automatically, reducing human intervention and making every transaction transparent and efficient.
