Delhi-Gurugram Expressway likely to get automated 'pay per road use' toll tax system, details here

The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is reportedly planning to start a ‘pay per road use’ system for toll collection on the Delhi-Gurugram Expressway and discontinue the ‘fixed toll’ system. After the new tax system is implemented, motorists will have to pay for only the distance they travel. 

Reports suggest that the new system will not require toll booths and the tax will get collected automatically with automated cameras that are capable of recognising vehicles. 

As per highways authority officials, there will be automatic number plate reading cameras at the entry and exit points of the expressway. The motorists will be charged on the basis of the kilometres they travelled. This new system for Delhi-Gurugram Expressway is likely to be installed in the next six months.
