Automatic RFID at 10 more locations in Delhi

 

In a bid to decongest traffic and decrease pollution, the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) plans to install automatic radio frequency identification (RFID) devices at ten more locations where toll and environment cess is currently collected through handheld devices.

The areas are Noida Major, Loni Main, Dhansa border, Kondli, New Seemapuri, New Kondli, Chandan Nagar, Prahladpur, Jharoda and Bajghera, said a senior official.

At the moment, the South MCD has automatic RFID devices at 13 locations where an estimated 80 per cent of commercial vehicles enter the capital and have to pay the toll and environment compensation charges (ECC).
