The Indian government has introduced new toll rules, set to make road trips on national highways more affordable and efficient. Under the new system which is powered by the Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), drivers can now travel up to 20 kilometres without paying any toll fees. This rule applies to most vehicles, except those with a National Permit, making shorter trips a lot easier on the wallet.

Here’s how it works: if you're driving along national highways, permanent bridges, bypasses, or tunnels, you won't be charged for the first 20 kilometres in either direction. However, if your journey exceeds this, you’ll only be charged for the extra distance you travel.

To support this updated system, the government is bringing in advanced tech tools. Besides the familiar FASTag system, the new rules also allow for GNSS On-Board Units and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) devices to collect tolls. These systems work together to ensure that drivers pay accurately based on how far they’ve gone.

But what exactly is GNSS, and how is it different from FASTag? GNSS uses satellite technology to track vehicles, creating virtual toll booths along the road. This is different from FASTag, which uses physical toll booths to track and charge vehicles. GNSS-enabled vehicles will be monitored remotely, with essential data like registration number and bank details being captured automatically.

FASTag has been a big step forward in reducing toll queues, but it’s not perfect. We’ve all seen the lines at toll plazas, especially during peak hours. GNSS aims to fix this by creating a fully digital, barrier-free experience. Cars equipped with GNSS tech can zip through dedicated lanes at toll plazas without stopping. Vehicles entering this lane without a functioning device will be required to pay a fee equivalent to twice the standard user fee applicable at that toll plaza. Over time, all lanes are expected to transition to GNSS, making things even smoother.

Certainly one of the major benefits would be huge reductions in waiting time. Currently, it takes an average of 714 seconds at toll booths. With GNSS, this could drop to just 47 seconds. Not only will this save time, but it will also reduce traffic congestion and cut down the cost of maintaining physical toll booths.

In short, the new GNSS-based toll collection system is designed to make life easier for drivers, ensuring that you only pay for the distance you travel, all while enjoying a faster, more efficient journey.
