India to be toll-booth free in 2 years: Gadkari

Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Thursday said that India would be tollbooth free within 2 years. Speaking at an ASSOCHAM event, the minister informed that the upcoming toll collection would be GPS based. The Times of India reported that the govt has finalised the new toll collection system and it will be implemented in collaboration with the Russian govt. To ensure seamless movement of vehicles across the country, the upcoming toll collection system would directly deduct the money from the linked bank account, the report added.
