The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has planned cashless fare deduction for the 60km stretch of the Delhi Meerut Expressway (DME) and a proposal has been mooted for the installation of ‘automatic number plate readers (ANPRs)’ at all the six entry/exit points near Akshardham in Delhi and Meerut in western Uttar Pradesh.
The DME project spans 8.7km in phase 1 from Akshardham to UP Gate; 19.28km in phase 2 from UP Gate to Dasna; and 31.78km in phase 4 from Dasna to Meerut which is a dedicated access-controlled expressway. The NHAI officials said the exit/entry points will be Akshardham, Indirapuram, near ABES College, Eastern Peripheral Expressway and Bhojpur in Ghaziabad and the final one at Partapur in Meerut.
