TL;DR
India is advancing its mobility infrastructure through intelligent highways and digital tolling, with the launch of FASTag portability, aiming for more efficient and transparent transportation.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari announced at the Global Fintech Fest 2026 that India's next phase of mobility infrastructure will be significantly shaped by intelligent highways, interoperable digital systems, and technology-led financing. He emphasized that the convergence of physical infrastructure, digital payments, and data will create more efficient and transparent transportation networks.
The minister also launched the 'One Tag' facility for FASTag portability in Mumbai, allowing vehicle owners to link their existing FASTag to new bank accounts via the Rajmarg Yatra app. This move reflects India's focus on innovation, interoperability, and customer-centric digital infrastructure, aiming for barrier-free tolling across the highway network within a year, building on the multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) tolling implemented in Mumbai on May 11, 2026.
