The Maharashtra Government  on Tuesday has decided to make FASTag mandatory across all toll plazas in the state starting from April 1. The decision is part of the government's efforts to streamline toll collection and enhance the efficiency of traffic management at toll booths.

The cabinet, chaired by Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis, approved the proposal put forth by the Public Works Department (PWD) to implement electronic toll collection exclusively via FASTag. The initiative aims to eliminate long queues, reduce fuel wastage, and improve transparency in the toll collection process, reported the Mid Day.
