NHAI Revolutionising Road Travel, Nationwide GPS-based toll collection to be rolled out by March 2024!

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari recently announced that the government is planning to implement new technologies, including GPS-based toll collection systems, to replace existing highway toll plazas. The initiative aims to alleviate traffic congestion and ensure motorists are charged accurately for the distance traveled on highways. The rollout of new GPS satellite-based toll collection is scheduled to commence nationwide by March next year.

      The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has conducted two successful pilot projects featuring Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems, specifically automatic number plate reader cameras.

      These trials aim to enable automated toll collection without the need for vehicles to come to a complete stop.

      The waiting time, which was 8 minutes during 2018-19, decreased to a remarkable 47 seconds with the implementation of FASTags.
