RFID likely at 10 more toll plazas

New Delhi, September 4 

Plans are afoot to install radio frequency identification (RFID) system at 10 second-level toll booths through which an increasing number of commercial vehicles are entering Delhi bypassing the automatic tax collection project implemented at 13 entry points. 

The RFID system allows automatic collection of MCD tax and environment compensation charge from commercial vehicles.  It is aimed at reducing pollution by easing traffic congestions and plug revenue leakage by ensuring transparency. 

“We have been witnessing traffic diversion from the 13 border points to 10 second-level toll plazas,” Akash Sinha, CEO of Tecsidel, the firm implementing the project, said.  —  PTI
