(Video) Rajya Sabha TV (RSTV) Policy Watch: FASTag : Mandatory for All Vehicles

Topic: FASTag : Mandatory for All Vehicles

Expert Panel:

  • Sachin Haritash, (Director, Chetak Cargo Pvt Ltd)
  • Dr. S.Velmurugan, (Senior Principal Scientist, CSIR)
  • Amarendra Kumar, (Chief General Manager, NHAI)

Topic Description:

Under the One Nation One Tag scheme, having the FASTag RFID tag on a four-wheeler in India has become mandatory. The use of this technology promises to ensure a smooth passage through toll plazas across India's national highways by negating cash transactions. FASTag is the Electronic Toll Collection program on toll plazas by National Highway Authority of India. It works on the principle of Radio Frequency Identification. The tag needs to be affixed to the windscreen of the vehicle in such a way that the sensor at the toll plaza can read it. One of the main benefits of using a FASTag is that it allows for a smooth passage through toll plazas.
