NHIA to report and blacklist ‘loose FASTag’ users

State-owned NHAI on Friday said it has strengthened the process for reporting ‘loose FASTag’ for blacklisting users to ensure smooth tolling operations.

In view of upcoming initiatives like the annual pass system and multi-lane free flow (MLFF) tolling, it is critical to address this issue to ensure FASTag authenticity and system reliability, the



National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said in a statement.

“To ensure smooth tolling operations and strengthen reporting of ‘loose FASTags’, NHAI has further streamlined its policy for the Toll Collecting Agencies and Concessionaires to immediately report and blacklist ‘loose FASTags’, that are also commonly called tag-in-hand,” it said.
