Primus Partners is proud to present its latest report, ‘Barrierless Tolling in India: Towards Efficient, Sustainable, and Innovative Infra.’ This report is the result of extensive research and collaboration with over 50 global and domestic stakeholders, representing key players in telematics, GNSS technology, highway operations, payment ecosystem, policy and legal experts. This approach paper encapsulates global success stories, technology standards, policy considerations, and strategic implementation insights.
The development of this report involved rigorous interviews, focus group discussions, and collaborations with industry leaders, government entities, and financial institutions, making it a well-rounded and robust framework for the future of tolling in India. It was officially released by Shri Nitin Gadkari, Hon’ble Minister of Road Transport & Highways, reflecting the Government of India’s commitment to modernizing and transforming India’s highway infrastructure.
As India’s highways continue to evolve, the introduction of GNSS-based barrierless tolling marks a groundbreaking shift. By eliminating physical toll plazas, introducing distance-based charges, and ensuring seamless movement across highways, this system aligns with global best practices while addressing local challenges. The proposed solution leverages India’s indigenous NavIC satellite system, ensuring a technology-driven, sustainable, and efficient infrastructure.
