What changed
India launched OneTag portability, allowing FASTag users to switch issuer banks through the Rajmargyatra app without replacing physical RFID tags. Users must complete fresh KYC; prior wallets close and eligible balances are refunded.

What to watch
- Published OneTag migration volumes, successful KYC completion rates, and wallet-refund turnaround times.
- Material changes in issuer-level FASTag market share or customer complaints following rollout.
- Promotional campaigns targeting FASTag switchers by major public-sector, private, and fintech-linked issuers.
- Rajmargyatra app ratings, outages, onboarding friction, and support-ticket trends.
- Expansion of FASTag acceptance into parking, fuel, urban tolling, or other mobility payments.
