<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, FASTag is mandatory for all vehicles on Uttar Pradesh's extensive expressway network. With India's largest state highway system including 13 expressways spanning over 3,200 km, UP offers the most comprehensive toll road infrastructure in the country.</p>
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">While FASTag is not mandatory for all toll roads in Uttar Pradesh, it's highly recommended for faster passage and better rates. All major expressways including Yamuna, Purvanchal, and Agra-Lucknow accept both FASTag and cash payments.</p>
  
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> Without FASTag, you'll pay double toll rates across UP's vast expressway network. The Yamuna Expressway charges ₹2.65/km for cars with FASTag versus ₹5.30/km without it. With 6 operational expressways and 7 under construction, UP leads India in expressway development.</p>
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> UP operates India's most extensive expressway network with over 1,000 km of access-controlled highways. FASTag provides seamless travel across all expressways and reduces waiting times significantly.</p>
  
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> UP's expressway network reached 1,225 km with the Bundelkhand Expressway inauguration. The upcoming Ganga Expressway (594 km) will be India's longest when completed. The ₹3,000 FASTag annual pass launching August 2025 offers significant savings for UP's extensive toll network.</p>
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> The newly inaugurated Gorakhpur Link Expressway (June 2025) connects to the Purvanchal Expressway, expanding UP's expressway network. All new expressways are FASTag-enabled from day one.</p>

<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Uttar Pradesh operates India's most extensive expressway network with 13 expressways covering 3,200+ km. The state pioneered distance-based toll collection and offers some of India's most advanced highway infrastructure.</p>
+
<p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Uttar Pradesh operates toll collection on major expressways with distance-based pricing and vehicle classification systems.</p>
