The government is working on a toll collection system that will eliminate toll plazas from the country and bring relief from long queues for road users in the next six months, Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari said in Parliament, on Wednesday.
“We have FASTags, but now we are searching for new options such as satellite-based toll system which will go through the GPS system installed in a car, debit the toll amount from the bank account. The second option is number plate, which will have a computerised system for collecting toll. Such a system will collect toll for the actual distance travelled on a National Highway,” Mr. Gadkari said in Rajya Sabha.
