No Toll Tax For THIS Much Distance On Any Highway! Check New Rule
Toll Tax - Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS): The toll collection system has evolved in recent years, moving from cash to cashless payments via FASTag. Now, the government has taken a step further with the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), which offers several benefits to highway users, such as barrier-free tolling for a hassle-free driving experience and distance-based tolling, where users only pay for the portion of the national highway they travel.

Toll-Free Travel For 20 KMs: GNSS users will not have to pay toll tax for the first 20 kilometres on the on highways and expressways. According to the new government regulations, motorists using vehicles equipped with a functional GNSS can travel toll-free for up to 20 kilometres daily on highways and expressways.

Penalties For Non-GNSS Vehicles: Vehicles without a functional GNSS unit entering designated GNSS lanes will be charged double the regular toll fee.
GNSS Pilot Projects: A pilot study with regard to a GNSS-based user fee collection system has been done on the Bengaluru-Mysore section of NH-275 in Karnataka and Panipat-Hisar section of NH-709 in Haryana, with plans to integrate it with the existing FASTag system.
Benefits Of GNSS Tolling: The GNSS system is expected to enable barrier-free tolling, enhance efficiency, reduce toll evasion, and ensure users pay only for the distance travelled on national highways.
