Earlier, addressing the ASSOCHAM Foundation Week Programme, Gadkari had shared his perspective on the theme ‘National Infrastructure Pipeline critical for economic revival across sectors,’ and explained that the toll amount will be deducted directly from the bank account based on the movement of vehicles. While now all commercial vehicles are coming with vehicle tracking systems, the Government will come up with some plan to install GPS technology in old vehicles.
UM had also stated, all toll collections may reach Rs 34,000 core by coming March and ensure India to become ‘toll booth free’ in the next two years.
