This step aims to introduce electronic toll collection (ETC) systems using existing infrastructure to improve efficiency and minimize operational costs.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Dwarka Expressway Project Overview<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Length:<\/strong>\u00a029 km (18.9 km in Haryana and 10.1 km in Delhi).<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Route:<\/strong>\u00a0Starts at Shiv-Murti on NH-8, connects Dwarka Sector 21, and ends near Kherki Daula toll plaza.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cost:<\/strong>\u00a0Approximately \u20b910,000 crore.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Status:<\/strong>\u00a0Partially operational, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in March 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Cost-Effective Solutions with Advanced Technology<\/strong><br>Gadkari highlighted that transitioning to a barrier-free system could significantly reduce the costs associated with running physical toll plazas. MoRTH&#8217;s recent amendment to National Highways Fee Rules (2008) to incorporate Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS)-based tolling aligns with this vision. GNSS technology enables toll collection without stopping vehicles, further enhancing efficiency compared to the existing FASTag system.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Current Toll Collection Statistics<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Coverage:<\/strong>\u00a045,000 km of National Highways.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Plazas:<\/strong>\u00a01,200 toll plazas operated by NHAI or concessionaires.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Digital Penetration:<\/strong>\u00a0Over 98% of toll payments made via FASTag as of March 2024.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Phased Implementation Strategy<\/strong><br>The barrier-free tolling system will initially be implemented on Dwarka Expressway and gradually expanded to other National Highways based on its success. This phased approach aims to evaluate the technology\u2019s efficacy and ensure seamless integration into existing systems.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The initiative reflects the government\u2019s commitment to modernizing India\u2019s road infrastructure and enhancing the user experience for highway commuters.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>4o<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/infrainfohub.com\/dwarka-expressway\/\">Image Source<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Union Minister Nitin Gadkari revealed plans to implement a barrier-free tolling system on Dwarka Expressway, aiming to eliminate the need for physical toll plazas.
