GNSS-Based Toll Collection to Boost India's Revenue by Rs 100 Bn: Gadkari

Indian Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, has projected a substantial Rs 100 billion increase in toll revenue with the implementation of GNSS-based toll collection systems across national highways. This technology, which leverages Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), is set to revolutionise toll collection by ensuring seamless operations and enhancing transparency in financial transactions.

Gadkari highlighted that the GNSS-based tolling will eliminate the need for physical toll booths, reducing congestion and travel time for commuters. It will also streamline toll collection processes, minimising revenue leakages and operational inefficiencies that have traditionally plagued toll collection systems in India.

The adoption of GNSS technology aligns with the government's commitment to modernise infrastructure and improve user experience on highways. By implementing a sophisticated electronic tolling mechanism, India aims to bring its toll collection practices on par with global standards, fostering economic growth and development in the transportation sector.

The anticipated revenue boost of Rs 100 billion reflects the potential of GNSS-based systems to significantly enhance toll collection efficiency and revenue generation. As India continues to expand its highway network and upgrade infrastructure, such technological advancements are expected to play a pivotal role in achieving sustainable and efficient transportation solutions nationwide.
