Cash Payments to Be Discontinued at Toll Plazas Starting April 10; UPI Transaction Fees to Increase by 25%

A senior official from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced an initiative designed to alleviate long queues at toll plazas across the country. This effort seeks to enhance the efficiency of highway travel, offering a smoother experience for commuters.

The initiative may involve the implementation of advanced toll collection technologies, including electronic toll collection systems that facilitate quicker passage and reduce congestion. By streamlining the toll collection process, NHAI aims to not only improve traffic flow but also minimize delays for vehicles traveling on national highways.

This move aligns with the governments broader objectives of enhancing infrastructure and promoting seamless travel on Indias expansive highway networks. The NHAI is expected to provide further details on the specific measures and timelines for this initiative in the coming weeks.
