The system will totally remove toll plazas from national highways making movement of traffic faster and also collection of toll more efficient and swift.
The GNSS based electronic toll collection system will use the existing FASTag infrastructure through a hybrid model, wherein both RFID-based ETC and GNSS-based ETC will operate simultaneously. Dedicated GNSS lanes will be available at toll plazas, allowing vehicles using the GNSS-based ETC to pass through freely. In future, as GNSS based toll collection becomes widespread across the country, all the lanes at plazas will be converted to GNSS lanes.
Interested companies to participate in the bidding for the GNSS-based toll collection tender can email their interest at tenders@ihmcl.com by 3 p.m. till July 22.
