Around 600 toll gates on national highways and select state highways, including 19 in Bengal, will be FASTag-enabled from December 15.
Vehicles that will have FASTags fitted to their windscreens and enough balance in the bank accounts linked with the electronic tags will enjoy seamless journey on the highways without having to stop and pay the toll.
At least 19 toll plazas across Bengal will have this feature enabled from December 15.
The FASTag is being introduced as part of the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) programme, which has been developed by the National Payments Corporation of India. It’s an initiative of the road transport and highways ministry.
