NEW DELHI: To avert inconvenience to citizens, the government on Saturday announced to convert up to 25 per cent of FASTag lanes at national highway toll plazas to hybrid lanes for a month.
The hybrid lane will accept FASTag and other modes of payment.
The government earlier had announced rollout of mandatory FASTag under electronic toll collection from December 1, which was later extended to December 15, 2019.
“Considering the request of NHAI and further the citizens are not put to inconvenience it is decided that depending on the traffic pile up at high traffic volume fee plazas, not more than 25 per cent ‘FASTag lane of fee plaza’ may be temporarily converted to hybrid lanes,” the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said.
