Toll booths in India will be a thing of the past as the central govt is all set to roll out complete GPS-based toll collection within one year. The announcement was made by Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Thursday in Lok Sabha.
Nitin Gadkari said 93% of the vehicles pay toll using FASTag, but the remaining 7 per cent have still not taken it despite paying a double toll.
“I want to assure the House that within one year all physical toll booths in the country will be removed. It means that toll collection will happen via GPS. The money will be collected based on GPS imaging (on vehicles),” Gadkari said in the Lok Sabha during Question Hour.
