A meeting has already been held with the banks in this regard and the banks have also agreed to this work. The ministry is busy brainstorming on what will be the model of banks for toll collection.

According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, out of the country’s 1.5 lakh kilometer long national highway and expressway network, toll is being collected on about 45,000 kilometers. There are 1063 toll plazas across the country.

Preparing for a big change

At present, toll collection work is done by toll agencies across the country. These agencies hire employees at the local level and collect toll. The toll fee will be paid to NHAI and the expressway construction company, which is decided in the terms and conditions. The ministry is going to make a big change in this model.

Preparations to end toll plaza

According to the Road Transport Ministry, toll barriers will be abolished in the country. This will save time for drivers. Although earlier there was a plan to collect toll using GPS based technology, now it has been changed. ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition) technology will be used to collect toll without stopping.

A new model is being developed

According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, preparations are on to hand over the work of toll collection to banks. For this, meetings have been held with many government banks. Banks have agreed to collect toll through ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition). The toll charge will go to the banks. After this, they will hand it over to NHAI. In return, the banks will buy high quality cameras and install them. According to the ministry, it is being discussed as to how many days the banks will keep the money with them. It is likely that its model will also be finalized soon.
