They can switch to the new system using their current accounts. This ensures a hassle-free transition and encourages wider adoption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Lifetime FASTag Plan Scrapped<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The government has dropped its earlier idea of a lifetime FASTag plan that proposed a hefty one-time payment of \u20b930,000 for 15 years. The new annual model is seen as more affordable and practical for most users.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Revenue Protection for Private Toll Operators<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>To address concerns from highway concessionaires and toll operators, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is drafting a compensation mechanism based on actual travel data. This will help maintain revenue flow while giving users more value and freedom.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Banks Get More Power to Curb Evasion<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The policy also plans to empower banks with stronger tools to prevent toll fraud and evasion, such as enforcing minimum FASTag balances.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Status in 2025: Under Review<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The proposed FASTag toll policy is still under review. However, if approved, it promises a major upgrade to India\u2019s toll system\u2014making long-distance travel more seamless, efficient, and cost-effective for millions of motorists across the country.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Conclusion: A Game-Changer for Road Travel<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This new toll policy could redefine road travel in India. By offering flexibility, ease of use, and value for money, it paves the way for a smarter, more accessible national highway experience.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>India is preparing to revamp its toll collection system with a new FASTag-based policy that could allow unlimited highway travel for an annual flat fee of \u20b93000.
