As per reports, the current FASTag system may soon be replaced by GNSS to collect tolls.
According to the new rules, those travelling a certain distance on the national highway will no longer have to pay tolls.
Cars equipped with GNSS can travel up to 20 kilometers per day on national highways for free. This means they don't have to pay tolls.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has issued a notification allowing free travel of up to 20 km per day on national and express highways.
Owners of cars travelling more than 20 kilometers will have to pay tolls. Moreover, this rule does not apply to national permit vehicles used for commercial purposes.
GNSS tags track the location and speed of the vehicle. Tolls will be collected based on the distance travelled and the speed of the cars. So there is no need to stop the car.
Cars without GNSS facility will have to pay double toll if they travel on GNSS exclusive roads.
