The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to introduce ”pay per road use” toll tax on the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway under which it would collect a fee from commuters only for the distance they travelled on the expressway, instead of the current fixed toll rate.
Pay per use tolling system is done without the use of traditional toll booths, NHAI officials said. Also called open road tolling, this system uses automatic cameras that can identify a vehicle travelling on the highway and facilitate their toll to be collected electronically.
NHAI officials said automatic number plate reading cameras (ANPR) will be installed on all entries/exits of the 29km long expressway, and users will be charged a toll based on the kilometres travelled.
