No FASTag? Pay twice the amount on highway toll plazas after Feb 15

Any vehicle that passes through national highway toll plazas after February 15 must pay twice the charges if it does not have a FASTag, the ministry of road transport and highways said in an order on Sunday.

“Vehicles not fitted with FASTag or vehicles without valid, functional FASTag entering the FASTag lane of the fee plaza shall pay a fee equivalent to two times of the fee applicable to that category,” the ministry said.

The ministry has decided that all lanes in the toll plazas on national highways shall be declared as “FASTag lane of the fee plaza” with effect from midnight of February 15-16.
