New Delhi: With the implementation of Electronic Toll Collection through FASTag from December 15, 2019, the sale of FASTags has picked up substantially. Over 1.15 crore FASTags have already been issued, with more than 1 lakh being issued every day.
Providing a smooth journey to commuters through toll plazas on National Highways, FASTag has proved to be instrumental as a fast and convenient tool that upholds the true essence of digital India.
With the concerted efforts of field officers and diligent monitoring at HQ level to resolve all the teething issues, NHAI is setting new milestones every day in FASTag transaction at toll plazas on National Highways. With the transaction number crossing 30 lakh, the daily transactional worth of Electronic Toll Collection has crossed Rs 52 crore.
Easy to adapt FASTag has already made a positive impression in the mind of the smart NH commuters, who are reducing bottlenecks on toll plazas to ensure seamless movement of traffic.
In order to simplify the recharge of FASTag, the government has recently included BHIM UPI App amongst many other modes of recharge. It has also resolved the issue of recharge of FASTag through any of the UPI registered banks.
Implementation of FASTag is one step in the direction of providing safe, smooth and seamless journey to commuters on the National Highways.
