NHAI Launches Digital Local Pass for Residents Near Toll Plazas via Rajmargyatra App
The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has introduced a digital 'local pass' on the Rajmargyatra Mobile App for residents within a 20 km radius of eligible toll plazas. This pass allows unlimited monthly travel through the toll plaza without physical visits or document submissions, using automated verification via DigiLocker, VAHAN, and GIS. The initiative began at the Mundka-Bakkarwala toll plaza in Delhi and will expand nationwide, aiming to enhance convenience and support the barrier-less Multi-lane Free Flow tolling system.
