India caps all-India tourist vehicles' out-of-state stay at 60 days

Change
India capped all-India tourist vehicles' permitted time outside their state of registration at 60 days, effective April 1, 2026, and required home states to monitor permitted vehicles via vehicle location tracking devices.
India caps all-India tourist vehicles' out-of-state stay at 60 days
Why it matters
Permit-issuing states must now pre-collect unpaid electronic toll user fees and verify vehicle compliance before issuing permits. Operators will be required to carry route and passenger particulars, fit vehicles with approved tracking devices and emergency buttons, and will be barred from operating vehicles with unresolved challans older than 45 days.
Implications
  • Permit-issuing state transport departments must verify and collect unpaid electronic toll user fees before issuing all-India tourist vehicle permits.
  • Permit-issuing state transport departments must monitor permitted vehicles continuously through command-and-control centres or authorised tracking-device feeds.
