Daily GPS allowance: Private vehicle owners with a functioning Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) will now enjoy a toll-free allowance for the first 20 kilometers of their daily journey on national highways.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will FASTag become obsolete in 2025?

Yes, starting May 1, 2025, India is replacing FASTag with a GPS-based toll collection system. However, the FASTag Annual Pass launching August 15, 2025, suggests continued use during transition.

What happens if I don't pay Indian tolls?

Without FASTag, you pay double toll rates immediately. If you travel without a FASTag on National Highways, you'll have to pay double the toll fees. Unpaid tolls result in penalty notices and potential vehicle registration issues.

Are there toll exemptions in India?

Yes, emergency vehicles (ambulances, fire brigades), state buses, and all two-wheelers are exempt from tolls. Government officials and VIP vehicles also qualify for exemptions.

Do motorcycles pay tolls in India?

No, two-wheelers are exempt from all toll charges in India, making motorcycles an economical travel option for toll road usage.

Is the 3-minute rule real for Indian tolls?

No, it is a myth that when waiting time exceeds 3 minutes the toll will be exempted. However, if the length of the queue exceeds 100 m from the toll plaza, the driver will not have to pay the toll.

How are Indian toll rates calculated?

The amount of toll is determined based on the length of the stretch of toll road (usually 60 km). Other factors are infrastructure type (bridge, tunnel, bypass etc.) and the vehicle's axle count, load etc.

India vs. Regional Countries
