The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and NHAI have clarified that there are no plans to introduce a satellite-based tolling system on May 1, 2025. Instead, a new ‘ANPR-FASTag-based Barrier-Less Tolling System’ will be implemented at select toll plazas. This system uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology combined with the FASTag RFID system for toll payment, allowing vehicles to pass through toll plazas without stopping. Electronic reminders and fines will be issued for non-payment. The NHAI is conducting a phased rollout, with nationwide implementation dependent on feedback and efficiency during the initial phase.
