The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways is planning to introduce annual FASTag passes for commercial vehicles. This announcement, made by Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister, marks a significant step towards streamlining toll payments for businesses. The initiative covers state transport corporation buses and private commercial vehicles. Additionally, the government is considering providing land at reduced rates to private bus operators for developing necessary infrastructure along national highways. The annual FASTag pass aims to make toll payments more manageable and efficient for commercial vehicle operators, building on the existing system for private vehicles.
