Toll plaza: No physical toll plaza on Dwarka Expressway ? NHAI launch this system

Jyoti — Sun, 03 Nov 2024 15:31:04 +0000

Union Road and Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari has said many times that he will remove toll plazas from the roads in the coming years. Now NHAI is going to take a big initiative in this direction.

Applications have been sought from banks for the country’s first Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) toll collection on Dwarka Expressway. If this plan is successful, then the only toll plaza on Dwarka Expressway will also end. The bank will deduct money based on your vehicle data.

How will this system work?

NHAI’s new toll system will be based on sensors and field equipment. When vehicles pass through, it will send the data to the bank. After which the bank will deduct the money. After this system becomes effective, there will be no need for any other toll operator.

How will the banks work?

Indian banks have no experience in direct toll collection. In such a situation, NHAI’s subsidiary IHMCL (NHAI’s organization that looks after toll collection) has allowed the sub-contractor to complete this work. According to the tender, the sub-contractor should have at least 200 km and 10 years of experience in installing multi-lane free flow based toll system in India or abroad.

Will FastTag also end?

From what has come to light so far, it seems that FastTag will continue. The new system will collect information from the vehicle database and send it to the bank. The bank will deduct money from the FastTag wallet. If you do not pay the toll, it will continue to show on the vehicle portal and app. Also, payment of outstanding amount for NOC and fitness certificate will be mandatory.

Will the only toll of Dwarka Expressway be abolished?

There is a toll on the Delhi-Gurgaon border on the 28 km long Dwarka Expressway. Vehicles have to pay toll only when they pass through this toll. But after the implementation of this new system, the situation will change. Let us tell you, the successful bidder will get a contract of 3 years. At the same time, they will have to install their system within 3 months.

NHAI is preparing to install multi-lane free flow system on many more expressways. The organization believes that since banks are under the supervision of Reserve Bank of India, the system there will be more transparent.

Delhi’s Dwarka Expressway to become first highway with ‘Free Flow Tolling’ system

Toll on Expressway: A system of collecting toll without a plaza is being installed on an expressway in the country. This system will be ready in the next few months and drivers will get the facility to pay toll without stopping.

New Delhi. You must have seen hundreds of toll plazas on highways and expressways, but a unique expressway is being built in the country, where toll will be deducted without a plaza. People traveling on this expressway do not need to stop their vehicles. The cameras installed near the toll will deduct the toll by scanning the fastag on the windshield of the vehicle. The interesting thing is that all this work will be done easily even if you drive at a speed of 100.

Actually, we are talking about the Dwarka Expressway built between Delhi-Gurugram. It will be equipped with ‘Free Flow Tolling System’ in the next few months. With this, it will become the first expressway in the country where there will be no need to install plaza or barrier to deduct toll. The advanced fastag reader installed here will scan the tag on the vehicle and toll money will be deducted even at a speed of 100. Apart from this, high power cameras will also scan the registration number of your vehicle. The National Highway Authority has started installing this system on the 28 km long expressway.

Both time and fuel will be saved.

Although the free flow tolling system is being implemented for the first time in India, this facility is already being provided in many countries of the world. With this system, the satellite based tolling system can also be implemented in a much better way. With this, the drivers will not need to stop to pay the toll. It is obvious that the new system will save both time and toll.

If Fastag does not work…

If a system is made to collect toll without a plaza, then the biggest challenge will be how to collect toll from those drivers whose Fastag does not work or is blacklisted. For this, NHAI and the Transport Department are jointly starting a new system. Through this, toll will be collected from the drivers who travel on the expressway without paying toll. NHAI has also appealed to the Transport Ministry to make changes in the vehicle system.

Information will be visible on the Vahan portal.

For those drivers whose Fastag is blacklisted or toll has not been deducted, its information will be visible on the Vahan portal. The photo of the vehicle will be shown on the portal along with the outstanding amount. Such drivers will not be allowed to transfer their registration until the outstanding amount is paid. Not only this, NOC for fitness certificate will also not be given. Drivers will be given the facility to pay the outstanding amount or raise objection on it on the portal itself.

HMRTC has approved two new metro routes in Gurugram.

Jyoti — Thu, 29 Aug 2024 11:10:17 +0000

There is great news for those who have bought a house in Gurugram. Many areas of Gurugram are going to be connected to the metro. In such a situation, Gurugram residents are going to get the gift of relief from traffic jams as well as excellent connectivity.

Recently, Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) has approved two new metro routes in Gurugram. These two new routes are going to provide convenience to more than two dozen areas of Gurugram.

In terms of connectivity, the year 2024 has been great for the city of Gurugram. This year, Dwarka Expressway (Gurugram part) was inaugurated, the foundation stone was laid for the extension of the metro from Gurugram Millennium City Center to Cyber City, and redevelopment work is also being done to provide world-class facilities to Gurugram Railway Station. Now, the approval of two new metro routes in Gurugram by Haryana Mass Rapid Transport Corporation (HMRTC) has added to its glory.

The new initiatives being continuously taken by the present government for better infrastructure are like a gift for the city. This decision will promote the expansion of metro rail in the city, so that the network will reach densely populated areas and connect them to major business districts. This increase in connectivity will not only provide relief to people from traffic but will also give a different momentum to the real estate market of Gurugram in the coming time.

This will be the first route of the metro

. According to HMRTC officials, the first proposed route from Bhondsi village to Gurugram railway station will be 17 km long and will pass through Vatika Chowk, Subhash Chowk, Rajiv Chowk, Sadar Bazar and Gurugram bus stand. This metro route will mainly run along Sohna Road and will connect to the proposed Delhi-Gurugram-Alwar RRTS line at Rajiv Chowk as well as the already approved metro extension from Millennium City Centre metro station at Gurugram railway station.

This will be the second metro route

. The second metro route is 13 km long and will connect Golf Course Extension Road to Sector 5, with stops at Millennium City Centre Metro Station, Signature Tower Crossing, Rana Pratap Chowk and Atul Kataria Chowk. This route will be along Sheetla Mata Road. This route is part of the authority’s proposal to build a large metro network across the city by 2031.

Let us tell you that South of Gurugram is one of the fast emerging real estate hubs in the National Capital Region which is benefiting from its proximity to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and commercial hubs like Cyber City and Golf Course Road. Seamless connectivity to the Gurugram-Sohna Elevated Road makes it an attractive city for professional residents, making major commercial, retail and entertainment places in Gurugram accessible within a 15-minute drive. Both these metro routes are going to prove to be excellent connectors for the entire South of Gurugram and SPR region.

Get relief from traffic jam

Pradeep Aggarwal, Founder and Chairman, Signature Global (India) Limited, said, ‘The two new metro routes in Gurugram will prove to provide better connectivity. This expansion of the metro on various routes will not only enhance the infrastructure of the city but will also provide more convenience to the residents, reducing travel time significantly. As a result, the demand for homes on these proposed routes is also expected to increase. Recent reports show that the premium housing market in the NCR region is growing rapidly, in such a situation SPR, South of Gurugram and Dwarka Expressway are going to be major centers.

Meanwhile, Aman Sharma, Managing Director of Arise Group, said, ‘It is certain that better connectivity will boost residential and commercial areas from Bhondsi to SPR area and South Gurugram. This will increase both demand and property prices.’

While Ashish Sharma, AVP Operations, Brahma Group, says, ‘Gurugram is expanding as a busy metropolis, so these additional lines will not only make daily commute easier but will also improve transportation. Today Gurugram has become a major real estate hotspot, so the expansion of the metro is going to develop it further.’

Gurugram has become a hot choice.

There is no answer to the connectivity of Gurugram city in NCR. Although traffic jam is a problem here during rain or any other problem, but the more the metro expands, the more convenience will increase here. Not only this, along with having various expressways, Gurugram is a city which has the facility of Indian Railways, Rapid Metro, Delhi Metro and the upcoming Rapid Rail facility is also going to increase. Last year, the Haryana government formed Gurugram Metro Rail Limited (GMRL), which is going to expand the metro by 28.5 kilometers from Millennium City Center to Cyber Hub.
