Government is preparing to bring a new system of toll collection by abolishing the FASTag system. Now the central government is planning to collect toll tax using the satellite navigation system.
According to sources the new system is already being test as a pilot project in India.
In this system, the toll has to be paid according to the number of kilometres the vehicle travels on the highway.
Under the new system the more kilometres you drive on the highway or expressway, the more toll will be charge.
The pilot project of the new toll system is being test in India.
The amount of toll is charge according to the number of kilometres the vehicle travels on the highway.
Due to the success of this procedure in European countries, preparations are being made to implement it in India as well.
Right now, the entire amount of the distance from one toll to another toll is collect from the vehicles.
Even if you are not going there and your journey is being complete somewhere in the middle, but the toll has to be paid in full.
Almost all vehicles (98.8%) in Germany have satellite navigation systems install.
The tax calculation starts as soon as the vehicle enters the toll road.
As soon as the vehicle moves from the highway to the road without toll, the toll of that kilometer is deduct from the account.
The system for deducting toll is the same as that of FASTag.
Right now, toll is being charge from FASTag on 97% of vehicles in India.
Before carrying out the new system, it is necessary to change the transport policy as well.
Experts are preparing the necessary points for this. 1.37 lakh vehicles have cover across the country in the pilot project.
A study report is being prepare by experts from Russia and South Korea.
This report may be release in the next few weeks.
