The National Highways Authority of India has taken strict actions against the misuse of FASTags, focusing on ‘loose FASTags’ to improve tolling efficiency. Toll agencies are now required to report instances of improper FASTag placement to NHAI. Offenders risk being blacklisted. This crackdown supports upcoming tolling advancements like the FASTag-based Annual Pass System and Multi-Lane Free Flow tolling. NHAI is committed to ensuring the seamless implementation of these new tolling systems. Loose FASTags pose operational challenges, causing lane congestion and discrepancies in toll charges. NHAI’s quick response to violations reflects its dedication to maintaining a reliable toll collection system. The introduction of a FASTag annual pass at an affordable price is set to simplify highway travel.
