The Indian government is set to make FASTag mandatory across all vehicles starting December 1, ensuring seamless toll payments via RFID technology. Currently, nearly 430 toll plazas nationwide are equipped for FASTag use. The system, part of the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) initiative by NPCI, processed over 9.67 lakh daily transactions in September, accounting for 34% of toll payments. Hybrid lanes will temporarily aid the transition, with plans to enhance real-time toll plaza monitoring by NHAI.
