Navigating the bustling roads of India can be quite a task, but with the advent of technology, at least some parts of the journey have been simplified. One such aspect is the toll collection process, which has been dramatically revamped with the introduction of FASTag.
An initiative under the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) program aims to facilitate seamless movement on tolled roads. This FASTag service is also brought to vehicle owners by IHMCL. Here, we will deep dive into the IHMCL FASTag application, activation, and recharge process.
FASTag works using Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology. It's like a sticker with a unique identification number attached to your vehicle's windshield. When you approach a toll plaza, RFID scanners read your IHMCL FASTag. The toll amount is automatically from your linked FASTag account. This process allows for seamless and cashless toll payments, reducing waiting times and making your journey smoother.
Choosing the IHMCL FASTag offers many benefits that make your highway journeys hassle-free.
You have the option to recharge your FASTag online either through the mobile app or website:

FASTag recharge is a simple process and doesn’t require any documents. However, you need the following documents when you initially purchase an IHMCL FASTag.
Once you've purchased your FASTag, affix it on the inside of your vehicle's windscreen in a clearly visible way to toll plaza scanners. The ideal position is the top middle area of the windscreen. Another thing to maximise the FASTag benefit is driving through the FASTag lane whenever passing through a toll plaza. This avoids getting stuck
To ensure this seamless experience, always maintain sufficient balance in your FASTag account.
As more vehicle owners adopt FASTag in their daily commuting practices, the experience of travelling on Indian highways is set to transform profoundly. The highway travel landscape is evolving, and IHMCL's FASTag system is at the forefront of this change.
