Mandatory FASTag rule relaxed for 65 toll plazas on National Highways citing high cash transactions

The Centre has exempted select toll plazas with high cash transactions to temporarily allow not more than 25% hybrid lanes accepting both cash and online transactions – for toll collection.

This comes after the National Highways Authority of India(NHAI), which is implementing the electronic toll collection (ETC) program, raised ‘concerns’ regarding high cash transactions at 65 identified toll plazas in the country.
