KOCHI: Electronic toll collection across tollbooths in Kerala touched an average 36 per cent with Pampampallam, Walayar, recording the highest cashless transacted booth with a daily average of 46 per cent collections coming via the FASTag route.
Officials at the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said the FASTag is increasingly used by the vehicles at the tollbooths after seeing the benefits such as seamless movement and minimal traffic congestion for those using FASTags.
FASTags are mandatory for vehicles effective from January 15, after the initial dates were postponed by a month from the earlier scheduled date of December 15.
