The government has announced that all National Highway fee plazas across the country have been shifted to an exclusive, digital-only payment system. The move eliminates cash transactions, making toll collection faster, more transparent, and fully automated.
Officials stated that the transition is aimed at reducing congestion at toll booths, curbing revenue leakages, and promoting seamless travel for commuters. The system will rely on FASTag and other digital payment modes to ensure efficiency.
The shift to digital-only tolling marks a significant step in India’s push toward smart infrastructure and digital governance, aligning with broader initiatives to modernize transport networks and enhance user convenience.
