In a major development, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Thursday (17 December) announced that the entire nation will be free of toll plazas in the next two years, reports Economic Times.
Gadkari announced that the government with the help of Russia has accepted a GPS based system and in the next two years will begin to collect toll based on the technology. This will ensure seamless movement of vehicles across the nation. He said, “In two years, India will be toll naka (barrier) free.”
The Road Transport and Highways Minister said that while all the commercial vehicles in the nation come equipped with the vehicle tracking systems, the government will come up with some plan to install the GPS technology in other vehicles.
