In a significant development for India's transportation infrastructure, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari , announced a major overhaul in the country's toll collection system. Speaking at a press conference today, Gadkari unveiled a new GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System)-based toll collection method, set to replace the existing toll booth system. The new system will utilize satellite technology to automatically detect and charge vehicles based on their usage of national highways.
