The Centre is deputing officials across states for the rollout of electronic toll collection at all toll plazas of the National Highways Authority of India nationwide from December 1, 2019, according to a statement.
December 1 onwards, toll payments will be only via FASTag under the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) programme, the flagship initiative of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).
The programme is being implemented pan-India to remove bottlenecks and ensure seamless movement of traffic.
However, one lane will be designated as a hybrid lane, which will accept FASTag as well as other modes of payment.
