Paytm Parnters with NHAI for fast vechile movement across the toll booths in India

[Naveen1]

Paytm has finally tied up NHAI for e-toll. 

 

Previously ICICI and AXIS bank started issuing fast-tags, but the reach was less than expected.

 

NHAI has decided to partner up with Paytm (Digital wallet App) to increase more reach.

 

What is e-toll?

Electronic-toll helps in cashless movement of vehicles across the toll booths in India.

 

Advantages of using Paytm RFID at toll booths.

1. No need to wait at long queues.

2. No need to carry cash for tolls

3. Increases the average speed of travel.

4. Improves the fuel efficiency.

5. Advantage during holiday season.

6. Dedicated fast-lane.

7. Online recharge.

 

NHAI is planning to promote the electronic toll system aggressively.

All the developed countries across the world are effectively using this e-toll system.

 

It is time for NHAI to implement this process across all the toll booths in India.

Hope it comes into practice soon.

Thank you for the information.

 

I have been using ICICI fast-tag from past 1 year.

 

Personally results are not satisfactory.

Most of the time my fast-tag is not detected properly.

 

Need to try out Paytm tag once it is launched.

Finally!! If this idea goes well, there won't be any long wait during festival season too.

 

Time, energy and speed can be maintained as well .

 

Good move NHAI!! Looking forward for this new electronic toll pay system.

 

Thanks for the information @driveking

Under the tie-up with the NHAI, commuters can now use Paytm FASTags to zip past toll plazas while the service automatically deducts charges from their digital wallets. Great move..

NHAI launched electronic tolling at 350 toll plazas where FASTag tagged vehicles would not need to stop to pay tolls.. Tying up with 'Paytm' is one good moves by NHAI

11% (i.e, 40 out of 350 toll plazas) of all toll plazas in India would be now managed and operated by Paytm for automatic deduction of toll charges. For selling e-toll tags, Paytm, Punjab National Bank, SBI and IDFC banks were selected as partners.

Good move.

 

Government should also start implementing centralised recharge cards.

So that it will be helpful for the un-educated people, Who don't want all this complications.

 

Like Touch and Go card system. You can recharge at the toll booth itself (pre paid).

There should be dedicated lines for cars and trucks.

 

So that traffic will be more organised at tolls.

 

It wont cost them much to a install height restriction cross bar.

Paid toll through Paytm today for the first time and the Process seems very easy!!

 

You just need to scan the barcode which was pasted on the right side of the box. Hope this cashless system stays forever
