IND NPC Toll Tag Portability

Published on: Sep 25, 2026

On Sep. 8, IND NPC introduced toll tag portability between issuers.

  • IND NPC introduced OneTag, allowing customers to switch National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) FASTag issuers without replacing the physical FASTag.
  • Document dated Sep. 8, 2026, received from IND NPC Sep. 23, summarized on Sep. 25.
  • New Facility
  • Under the new model, the Tag ID, vehicle registration number (VRN), and physical FASTag remain unchanged, while IND NPC acts as the central secure layer facilitating issuer migration.
  • Customer authentication will use a mobile verification code (MVC) from the existing issuer.
  • Toll transactions would continue without disruption during and after porting; subsequent transactions would be routed to the new issuer.
  • Portability is permitted only where the vehicle has one active NETC FASTag, there are no active disputes or chargebacks, and the registered mobile number is available for authentication.
  • Effectiveness
  • NETC FASTag members must undertake the necessary business, operational, and technical preparedness activities and ensure mandatory go-live on or before Oct. 15, 2026.
