The facility aims to enable seamless and cost-effective travel across National Highways. A dedicated link for activation and renewal will soon be made available on the Rajmarg Yatra App, as well as on the official websites of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).
The policy addresses concerns related to toll plazas located within a 60 km radius and is intended to simplify toll payments through a single, affordable transaction. It is expected to reduce wait times, ease congestion, and minimise disputes at toll plazas, thereby offering a faster and smoother travel experience for private vehicle users.
