ETC – Apex Committee Report 1 Introduction Highways being the lifeline for any economy, the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRT&H), Government of India has decided to induct technology to make travel across Indian National highways seamless. Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) is the recent most initiative to enable a near non-stop travel for highway commuters across the Country. This report details the steps for implementation of ETC system in India. 1.1 Context India is soon going to have one of the world’s most extensive National highway networks through various phases of the National Highways Development Project planned by the Government. The project, already in advanced stage of completion, is being financed largely through subscriber fees collected from subscribers at toll collection points on these improved highways. This underlines the need for large scale tolling of the highways. As the volume of traffic increases, the current method of manual toll collection, with or without using computer generated receipts, becomes inefficient, prone to leakage and difficult to sustain. The method of payment requires vehicles to stop at toll plazas and wait a relatively long time for their turn to come. The current state of congestion and operational inefficiency at toll plazas prompted the Government to plan & implement an integrated ETC system, which can facilitate convenience for subscribers, and transparency & efficiency for operators. With an aim to plan for improvement the toll collection scenario across the highway network, the Government had constituted a committee under the chairmanship of Shri Nandan Nilakani in 2010. This Committee’s mandate was to examine all technologies available for ETC and recommend the most suitable technology for local conditions. The Committee concluded that the plan for implementing ETC on India’s highway network aims to ease delays and traffic congestion at toll collection points. The ETC system would enable a smoother thoroughfare of traffic at toll plazas by facilitating Automatic Vehicle Identification (AVI) and electronic collection of toll. Considering user convenience, rate of acceptance and ease of implementation, passive Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology was recommended by the Committee in its report dated 28 June 2010. Upon acceptance of the report submitted by the Committee chaired by Shri Nilekani, Apex Committee was constituted vide Order No. H-25011/4/2010-P&P dated 08.03.2011 (placed at Annexure A) for suggesting the operational methodology for implementation and operation of ETC, based on consultations with stakeholders and finalization of the required standards for the different components of ETC system. This Apex Committee comprises the following members: ► Dr. Y.K. Sharma, DDG, NIC – Chairperson 7 | P a g e September 2011
