New Delhi, Feb 29, 2024: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched the "One Vehicle, One FASTag" initiative to streamline toll collection and reduce traffic congestion nationwide. This initiative discourages users from using a single FASTag for multiple vehicles and vice versa.

 

As part of this initiative, the NHAI has mandated the completion of Know Your Customer (KYC) for all FASTags by February 29, 2024. Failure to do so will result in deactivation of the FASTag. The earlier deadline was January 31, 2024, which was extended earlier this month.
