Overview

• Toll collection agencies and concessionaires must now immediately report non-affixed FASTags via the new dedicated email ID.
• Based on those reports, NHAI will swiftly blacklist or hotlist any ‘tag-in-hand’ FASTags to curb misuse.
• The crackdown targets lane congestion, false chargebacks and closed-loop system exploitation caused by loose tags.
• With over 98% FASTag penetration nationwide, the move seeks to preserve the reliability that transformed toll collection.
• These measures set the stage for the ₹3,000 annual FASTag pass and the August launch of multi-lane free flow tolling.
