Swiggy Instamart and Park+ Partner to deliver FASTags in under 10 minutes

Swiggy Instamart, the quick commerce arm of Swiggy, has joined forces with Park+ to introduce a groundbreaking solution for acquiring FASTags, aligning with the National Highways Authority of India’s (NHAI) “One Vehicle, One FASTag” rule, which came into effect on April 1.

This collaboration empowers Swiggy Instamart users across 29 cities to receive their IndusInd Bank FASTags delivered straight to their doorsteps in less than 10 minutes, revolutionizing the process compared to traditional methods.

Previously, individuals had to navigate cumbersome application procedures via bank portals or visit toll booths in person, resulting in wait times of up to 7 days for card delivery and activation. This partnership aims to redefine the car ownership experience by providing seamless and expedited access to FASTags, an essential component of electronic toll collection systems.

“FASTag is now available on Swiggy Instamart, enabling users to acquire it anytime, anywhere, with delivery times reduced from days to under 10 minutes,” stated Phani Kishan, Head of Swiggy Instamart, highlighting the significance of frictionless payments and convenience. Swiggy remains committed to delivering innovative and practical solutions to its customers, with this initiative aligning perfectly with that mission. The collaboration between Swiggy Instamart and Park+ comes at a pivotal moment as NHAI implements stricter regulations to streamline the FASTag system.

With the “One Vehicle, One FASTag” rule now in force, vehicle owners must ensure they possess a dedicated FASTag for each vehicle they own, enhancing the efficacy of electronic toll collection and facilitating seamless passage at toll plazas.

Amit Lakhotia, Founder & CEO of Park+, expressed, “Our strong partnership with IndusInd Bank enables us to deliver IndusInd FASTags to customers in under 10 minutes, thanks to Swiggy Instamart. We remain committed to enhancing the car ownership journey for individuals, and we look forward to collaborating with additional stakeholders to support us in this endeavor.”

Phani Kishan reiterated the importance of smooth payments and convenience, adding, “With FASTag now accessible through Swiggy Instamart, users can obtain it anytime, anywhere, drastically reducing delivery times from days to under 10 minutes.”

The collaboration between Swiggy Instamart and Park+ arrives at a crucial juncture as NHAI implements stricter guidelines to streamline the FASTag system. With the “One Vehicle, One FASTag” rule now enforced, vehicle owners must ensure they possess a dedicated FASTag for each vehicle they own.

This initiative is designed to optimize the efficiency of electronic toll collection systems and facilitate seamless movement at toll plazas. With a penetration rate of approximately 98% and over eight crore users, FASTag has already transformed the country’s electronic toll collection landscape, and this partnership further underscores the commitment to enhancing the car ownership experience and fostering the adoption of digital solutions for a more efficient and convenient transportation ecosystem.
