How Telepeage Grew from a Single Corridor to a National Network

The company started in 2016 with one toll plaza on the Delhi-Mumbai corridor and a simple idea: heavy trucks should not lose hours waiting at barriers. Since then, the team has built a platform that now processes toll transactions for fleets operating across 14 states, with a focus on vehicles above 12 tonnes.

2016 - First Deployment at Jaipur Toll Plaza

The founding team installed the first badge readers at a single plaza and managed 40 trucks for three local transporters. The goal was to prove that digital tolling could cut average wait times from 22 minutes to under 4 minutes on a busy corridor.

2018 - Centralized Fleet Dashboard Launched

After two years of manual transaction logs, the team released a dashboard that grouped toll spending by vehicle, route, and driver. This was the first time fleet managers could see monthly toll costs without opening spreadsheets or calling the bank.

2020 - Integration with National FASTag Network

The platform connected directly to the national FASTag settlement system, which removed the need for separate accounts at each toll operator. Recharge and reconciliation started happening in a single view, and the team grew to support 1,200 active vehicles.

2022 - Route Cost Prediction Added

Using transaction history, the team built a route cost estimator that flags expensive corridors before a trip begins. Fleet managers now compare two route options and see the toll difference in rupees per kilometre, not just in total distance.

2024 - 4,800 Vehicles and 11 Regional Support Points

Today the platform handles over 90,000 toll transactions per month. Support staff are stationed near major logistics hubs in Gurgaon, Chennai, Kolkata, and Ahmedabad, so drivers can replace a faulty badge or resolve a settlement issue without leaving the highway.

2025 - Next Step: GPS-Based Tolling Pilots

The team is now participating in the government's satellite tolling pilot on two stretches in Maharashtra. The goal is to prepare fleet clients for a future where physical booths are replaced by distance-based billing, and to keep the transition as smooth as possible.

Milestones That Shaped Our Tolling Platform

From the first FASTag integration trial to a nationwide fleet management system, each stage added a concrete capability for heavy vehicle operators.

2019 - First FASTag Pilot with 40 Trucks

We started with a small fleet running between Gurgaon and Jaipur. The goal was simple: measure how much time a digital toll badge actually saves at a busy plaza. Average crossing time dropped from 14 minutes to under 3, and the data convinced us to build a full transaction ledger.

2021 - Centralized Transaction Dashboard

After two years of manual spreadsheets, we launched a dashboard that pulls toll transactions from every registered vehicle. Fleet managers can now see each plaza crossing, the amount deducted, and the remaining balance without calling the driver or waiting for weekly reports.

2022 - Route Cost Forecasting for 12+ Tonne Vehicles

We added a route planner that estimates toll expenses before a trip starts. It compares corridor rates, suggests cheaper alternates, and flags plazas with frequent congestion. This feature came directly from transporter feedback about surprise costs on long hauls.

2023 - Account Recharge Automation

Manual top-ups were causing trucks to stop at plazas with insufficient balance. We introduced auto-recharge rules based on trip distance and average spend per vehicle. Since then, declined transactions across our client fleets have dropped by roughly 60 percent.

2024 - Multi-State Corridor Coverage

Our badges now work across toll plazas in twelve states, including the Delhi-Mumbai and Chennai-Bengaluru corridors. The team also opened a support desk that resolves tag-related issues within one business day, which remains the most cited reason fleets stay with us.

2025 - GPS-Based Tolling Readiness

With India testing satellite-based toll collection, we rebuilt our backend to accept distance-based charges alongside fixed plaza fees. Fleet managers can already simulate what a GPS tolling route would cost, so the transition does not catch them off guard.

The people behind the toll network

Telepeage Poids Lourds was built by transport and logistics specialists who spent years at toll plazas, dispatch desks, and fleet yards across India. We know what a 12-tonne truck costs per kilometer, where the bottlenecks sit on the Delhi-Mumbai corridor, and why a missed FASTag recharge can stall an entire delivery schedule. This team brings that field experience into every dashboard, alert, and route suggestion.

Operations Lead

Ujwal Chandra Parsa

Ujwal managed toll reconciliation for a fleet of 140 heavy trucks on the NH-48 route. He designed our transaction matching engine so that every plaza charge is checked against the trip log before it reaches your monthly statement.

Fleet Systems

Nishtha Chatterjee

Nishtha spent six years building dispatch software for Gujarat-based transporters. She leads the integration work that connects your existing GPS trackers and weighbridge records to the Telepeage account without duplicate data entry.

Client Support

Mukti Dubey

Mukti runs the helpline that answers tag activation questions, plaza disputes, and low-balance alerts. Her team resolves most issues within one working day, and she keeps a running list of corridor-specific quirks that shape our product updates.

Network Analytics

Kailash Varkey

Kailash previously analyzed toll data for a state road authority. He builds the cost forecasts that show you which alternate routes save money on a given day, factoring in plaza rates, congestion windows, and vehicle class.
