India's New FASTag Toll Plan: Annual Pass, Pricing, and Details
India is planning new ways to pay highway tolls.
You could pay Rs 3,000 each year for unlimited use.
Another option is to pay a small amount for every 100 kilometers you travel.
These new passes work with the current FASTag system.
The goal is to make paying tolls easier, reduce traffic jams at toll booths, and make road travel smoother.
The older plan for a lifetime pass has been canceled.
The Indian government plans to introduce an annual FASTag pass for highway travel.
The annual pass will cost Rs 3,000, offering unlimited access for one year.
A pay-per-use model will be offered, costing Rs 50 per 100 kilometers.
The system aims to replace physical toll booths with barrier-free tolling.
The plan scraps the previous proposal for a 15-year lifetime FASTag pass.
