National Highway fee plazas across country shifted to exclusive, digital

The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said that all user fee payments at National Highway fee plazas across the country are being processed exclusively through digital modes of FASTag or Unified Payments Interface (UPI) from the 10th of this month. The Ministry added that, however, this transition has not been implemented in the states of Tamil Nadu, Kerala, Assam and West Bengal, as well as the Union Territory of Puducherry, in view of the Model Code of Conduct currently in force due to the ongoing electoral process.
