Toll plazas to go barrier-free with tech integration, says Gadkari

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari announced plans to eliminate barriers at toll plazas by integrating advanced technology into India's highway infrastructure. The new system will combine vehicle number-plate recognition with Fastag to enable toll collection without requiring vehicles to halt at plazas.

The move aims to create a more seamless and faster experience for commuters while reducing congestion at toll collection points. The technology-driven approach represents a shift towards modernising India's toll collection infrastructure.
