In news

According to Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, India will implement a GPS-based toll collection system and remove all toll booths within a year.

GPS-based toll collection system

Toll collection will happen via GPS.
The money will be collected based on GPS imaging of vehicles.
93% of the vehicles were paying toll using FASTag but the remaining 7% had still not adopted it despite paying double the toll.

Vehicle Scrapping Policy

The policy was first announced in the Union Budget for 2021-22.
The automobile industry in India will see a jump in turnover to ₹10 lakh crore from ₹4.5 lakh crore.
The new policy provides for fitness tests after the completion of 20 years in the case of privately owned vehicles and 15 years in the case of commercial vehicles.
Any vehicle that fails the fitness test or does not manage renewal of its registration certificate may be declared as an End of Life Vehicle.
The policy will kick in for government vehicles from April 1, 2022.
Mandatory fitness testing for heavy commercial vehicles will start from April 1, 2023.
For all other categories of vehicles, including personal vehicles, it will start in phases from June 1, 2024.
