Government is considering introducing an annual pass system for toll collection with payment £3,000 for unlimited motorway travel, eliminating Fastag recharging. According to The Times of India, this policy also proposes prices based on distance and barrier -free tolls to improve the flow of operation in order to simplify traveling on national highways.
A one -time payment system
According to the proposed policy, vehicle owners will allow a one -off annual payment of 3,000 INR to travel unlimited distance on all national highways, highways and state highways. After the introduction of this policy, Fastag will not be required to travel across the country.
Prices based on distance
This policy suggests the “Pay-As-You-go” model at the address £50 per 100 km, comfortable for those who often do not travel.
What about existing Fastag users?
Vehicle owners can switch to a new system without having to show any additional documents or account changes. Fastag users can move to new policy with their current accounts. In addition, an earlier policy of introducing a lifelong fastag with a one -time payment £30,000 for 15 years has been discarded.
No barriers to tolls
According to the proposed policy, the tolls of the physical barrier will not have and existing sensor -based systems will be discarded. This initiative is expected to be faster and faster. In addition, the barrier toll cabin will facilitate traffic jams and reduce fuel consumption.
What happens to the toll income?
The latest policy is expected to affect the income of motorway suppliers. As a result, the Ministry of Road Transport and Morth (Morth) creates a plan of compensation based on digital travel data. Banks will provide greater power to reduce the avoidance of tolls by introducing several measures.
However, the government did not give an official confirmation of the latest toll collection policy. Livemint could not verify the message separately.
