Key Reality: Chandigarh itself has very few toll plazas, but travelers from Chandigarh frequently use toll highways in Punjab, Haryana, and other states where FASTag provides up to 10% savings over cash payments.

2025 Update: FASTag remains the primary electronic toll collection system across India. Reports of GPS-based tolling replacement from May 2025 have been officially denied by NHAI. New ANPR-FASTag barrier-less systems are being tested at select toll plazas.
