Gone are the days of waiting in long queues at toll plazas or grappling with Fastags. A groundbreaking change is underway in the realm of toll collection on National Highways.
Soon, toll plazas will be a thing of the past, replaced by an innovative satellite-based toll system set to streamline your highway journeys.
Farewell to Toll Plazas: Introducing the New Toll System
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has unveiled plans for a revolutionary toll system that eliminates the need for toll plazas altogether.
Say goodbye to toll barriers and Fastag hassles. Instead, the new system will employ satellite-based technology to deduct toll charges directly from your bank account.
How Does It Work?
In this cutting-edge toll system, toll charges will be calculated and deducted using GPS and camera technology.
Through a pilot run of GPS-based toll collection, toll charges will be determined based on the distance traveled by your vehicle.
GPS data will track your vehicle’s journey, ensuring accurate toll collection without the need for physical toll plazas.
Benefits Abound: Saving Money and Fuel
This futuristic toll system isn’t just about convenience—it’s also about savings. By eliminating the need to stop at toll plazas, motorists will save both time and fuel.
Minister Gadkari has emphasized how this new system will optimize travel efficiency, benefiting commuters and the environment alike.
Farewell to the Fastag Era
With the advent of satellite-based toll collection, the era of Fastags is drawing to a close. Previously, toll payments were made through cash or Fastags, but now, a seamless and efficient satellite-based system will take its place.
NHAI has also mandated KYC for Fastags, signaling a shift towards the new toll collection paradigm.
Embracing the Future of Highway Travel
As we bid adieu to toll plazas and Fastags, we usher in a new era of highway travel marked by efficiency, convenience, and savings.
With satellite-based toll collection paving the way, get ready for smoother journeys ahead on India’s National Highways.
