India’s transport ministry notified today that FASTags (RFID tags) will be fixed on windscreens of all new four-wheelers coming out of factories or dealerships from 1st December, 2017. In case of vehicles with drive-away-chassis, such as trucks and buses, the FASTags will be installed by owners before registration.
NHAI (National Highway Authority of India) has already introduced a FASTag lane in all 370 toll plazas under its ambit. With FASTags, the NHAI aims to offer near non-stop movement of vehicles through toll plazas.
