The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is contemplating an extension of the deadline for the One Vehicle One FASTag initiative until the end of March. This initiative mandates the use of FASTags for toll payments on national highways and was initially set to be enforced strictly from a specified date. The potential extension reflects a pragmatic approach by NHAI, considering the need for a smoother transition and increased adoption of the FASTag system among vehicle owners. The initiative aims to streamline toll collection processes, reduce traffic congestion at toll plazas, and promote a more efficient and cashless toll payment system. By extending the deadline, NHAI demonstrates flexibility in implementing the One Vehicle One FASTag initiative, recognizing the challenges faced by some vehicle owners in acquiring and adopting FASTags within the initially stipulated timeframe. This extension, if approved, provides a grace period for vehicle owners to comply with the mandatory use of FASTags, aligning with NHAI's long-term goal of enhancing the efficiency and effectiveness of toll collection on national highways. As the deadline extension is considered, NHAI remains focused on promoting a seamless and technologically advanced toll payment experience for all road users, emphasising the importance of widespread FASTag adoption for the modernization of toll collection systems across the country.
