Government Plans Satellite-Based Toll Collection on National Highways by FY25

The Indian government is gearing up to introduce satellite-based toll collection systems on national highways by the fiscal year 2024-25. This initiative seeks to revolutionise toll collection mechanisms, leveraging satellite technology to streamline operations, minimise traffic congestion, and improve overall efficiency in road transport management.

The proposed system will utilise Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technology to enable seamless toll payments without the need for physical toll booths. Commuters will benefit from reduced travel times and enhanced convenience, while authorities expect increased revenue collection efficiency and better monitoring of traffic flow across national highways.

The move towards satellite-based toll collection aligns with India's broader digital transformation agenda and efforts to modernise infrastructure for sustainable economic growth. It underscores the government's commitment to leveraging technology to enhance transparency, reduce operational costs, and improve user experience in transportation services.

Implementation plans include the deployment of advanced tolling infrastructure and backend systems capable of processing real-time data for toll transactions. This technological upgrade is expected to optimise resource utilisation, mitigate environmental impacts associated with congestion, and support India's transition towards smart mobility solutions.

As preparations advance, stakeholders anticipate significant benefits from the satellite-based toll collection system, including enhanced road safety, reduced carbon emissions, and accelerated economic activities along national highways. The government's proactive approach aims to set new benchmarks in toll management efficiency and contribute to India's sustainable development goals in the transportation sector.
