What is Fast Tag?

Fast Tag introduced by National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) will revolutionize the way of toll payments in India. When your vehicle is in motion, toll payments are made automatically through Radio Frequency Identification Technology (RFID) technology, directly from your connected account. By affixing a FAST tag on your vehicle's windscreen, you can avoid parking at toll plazas. This will also save your travel time. Fast Tag gives you a cashless experience, which not only saves you time but also saves you fuel. This technology is a step towards efficient and smart road travel to make your journeys more smooth and enjoyable.Read more
