New Announcement By Central Govt, Fastag Will Be Closed From Next Month
Fastag : The government has now made preparations to discontinue Fastag and start the GPS toll system. Apart from this, geofencing has also started on the National Highway for accurate calculation of distance covered for the journey and toll tax to be charged for the journey.
This means that now payment for toll tax will not be done through Fastag and its collection will be done through GPS. So, let us now tell you in detail about the benefits to the drivers and which national highway will be the first to start toll collection through GPS system. This good news is for those passing through National Highways.
The government has now taken one more step in its preparations to collect toll tax through GPS technology by eliminating toll plazas. Delhi-Jaipur Highway and Bengaluru-Mysore Expressway will be the first two highways where the GPS-based tolling system will be introduced allowing passengers to pay toll according to the number of kilometres.
After the implementation of this new toll system (GPS Toll System), toll plazas will be removed from all the highways and with this system, passengers will have to pay the same amount of money as they travel on the highway.
Toll tax will be deducted as per the distance
For your information, let us tell you that the preparation work for GPS toll system has started. And better geofencing of the Delhi-Jaipur section has been introduced to accurately calculate the distance covered for the journey.
Let us tell you that it has started from Delhi-Jaipur and Bengaluru-Mysore Highway in the month of March. At present, GPS-based vehicle location tracking system has also been installed in more than 18 lakh commercial vehicles.
Will gradually expand everywhere
This new GPS-based tolling system will be tried on several highways and gradually expanded. Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari had recently informed the Parliament that a new system to free the National Highway Network from toll plazas can be started in March.
Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the central government has decided to remove all toll booths in India and implement GPS-satellite based toll connection system for vehicles. Toll fee booths are set up at various places to drive on the highways. And toll fees are collected through them only. For this, long ago the Central Government had also made Fastag card mandatory for vehicles. With this, drivers could easily recharge their cards and cross toll booths with it.
