NHAI Launches Digital Local Toll Pass and Help Centre on Rajmargyatra App
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched a digital local pass feature on its Rajmargyatra mobile app, allowing residents within a 20 km radius of eligible toll plazas to purchase monthly passes online. This pass permits unlimited travel through the respective toll plaza during the month. The process, previously requiring physical visits and document submission, is now completed digitally using verified data from DigiLocker, VAHAN, and GIS-based systems. The service debuted at the Mundka-Bakkarwala toll plaza in Delhi and will expand nationwide. Additionally, NHAI introduced the MargMitra Help Centre on the app, offering assistance in 22 Indian languages for various highway-related services.
