The minimum impact of the expected revenue from Fastag annual corridor: CRISIL

“The annual entry of Tell Pass will enhance the comfort of travelers by simplifying traffic via Toll Plazas,” says Jagannarayan Padmanabhan, the first manager and head of consulting at Market Market Intelligence & Analytics.

Padmanabhan added that although the average in private vehicles travels about 10,000 km annually, most of them occur outside the national highways, and therefore the direct financial impact on the fees operators is small. However, the benefits of travelers and road efficiency are generally great. He said: “For frequent travelers who use roads for more than 2500 to 3000 km annually, it provides passes with great cost savings and additional comfort, making travel for long distances smoother.”

The new annual Fastag pass to the government-which was officially announced this week-is designed to allow unlimited travel on the national highways chosen for a fixed annual fee, which reduces the payment process for high-use private car owners. This step is part of a wider batch to the finest square, improving operational efficiency, stimulating digital fees via Fastag.

Experts believe that traffic can lead to smoother traffic patterns and reduce waiting times in Toll compartments, especially during peak travel seasons and weekend holidays.
