National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) programme has been launched by NPCI, NHAI and IHMCL to automate electronic toll collection to ease out traffic woes and create an efficient and interoperable system on a national scale covering all toll plazas.
The Government of India (GOI) has mandated all toll plazas on the national highways to make toll payments electronic. According to the GOI plans, FASTag will be made compulsory on other toll plazas subsequently. Following this mandate, all vehicles travelling through toll plazas will now have to mandatorily pay their toll charges using FASTag. Many parking places in the country are also implementing contactless toll payment through FASTag.
NETC programme uses FASTag device that employs RFID technology, for making electronic toll payment directly from the prepaid account linked to it. Currently the programme is live on 650+ toll plazas across the country. FASTag offers the convenience of cashless payments along with other benefits like savings on fuel and time as the customer does not have to stop at the toll plazas.
ICICI Bank FASTag programme is part of NETC initiative rolled out by NPCI under the guidelines of NHAI and IHMCL.
