Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

Trans-Tax : The Final Frontier ?

 


Respected Shri Nitin Gadkari,


Subject: Proposal: NaVIC-Enabled ROTE for Rs. 25 Lakh Crore Annual Revenue


I am writing to propose the Reduction of Transport Emission (ROTE) project, which leverages NaVIC satellite data and RFID technology to revolutionize India’s transport revenue system.

This builds on my earlier communication to Prof. Kamakoti (IIT-Madras) on June 26, 2025, with a copy to you

Proposal Overview

Using NaVIC-enabled dashboards and RFID-based automation , (  demonstrated here : https://youtu.be/XiEQWWrl-4w )

the government could potentially collect Rs. 25 Lakh Crore annually through an automated TRANS-TAX system applied to all, 70 million four-wheeled vehicles, whether on highways or city roads.

Supporting Data

  • Current Toll Collection:

      Rs. 70,000 Cr/year (2025 estimate, ToI, July 8, 2025), with Rs. 17,000 Cr from NH users in Q1 FY25.

  • Projected Growth:

      Toll collection is expected to reach Rs. 1.34 Lakh Cr/year in 3-4 years, based on 7 million daily highway users (10% of 70M four-wheelers).

     

  • Proposed TRANS-TAX:

      Extending automated RFID-based tax collection to all 70 million four-wheelers could yield Rs. 25 Lakh Cr/year, assuming daily contributions.

      

  • Gartner’s Insight:

      The Gartner report (July 9, 2025) highlights Earth intelligence, including satellite-based vehicle tracking, as a $ 20 B opportunity by 2030

      ROTE aligns with this by using NaVIC for real-time traffic and tax monitoring.

     

Call to Action

To validate this proposal, I respectfully urge you to :

1.     Engage transport and IT experts, including Prof. Kamakoti, to evaluate ROTE’s feasibility.

2.     Initiate a sandbox simulation to test NaVIC and RFID integration for automated tax collection.

3.     Schedule a discussion within the next 30 days to explore implementation.


This initiative could significantly boost India’s revenue, aligning with Digital India and Atmanirbhar Bharat

I am happy to provide further details or assist in coordinating with relevant experts.

Yours sincerely,
Hemen Parekh
