GPS-based toll collection to be implemented within a year in India

On Thursday, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari said that India will do away with toll booths. Also, within one year, the implementation of GPS-based toll collection will be completed, he said. The Union Minister further said 93 per cent of the vehicles pay toll using FASTag. However, but the remaining 7 per cent of vehicles have still not taken FASTag despite paying a double toll, he mentioned.
During Question Hour in the Lok Sabha, Gadkari said that he wants to assure the House that all physical toll booths in the country will be removed within one year. Thus, it means that the collection of toll will happen via GPS. The toll at highways will be collected based on GPS imaging (on vehicles), he stated.
