Security Concerns Spur India to Bar Chinese Cameras on Tollways

India is shunning cheaper China-made high-speed cameras at highway tolls, citing security concerns around these devices and opting instead for American, German and Taiwanese suppliers, according to people familiar with the matter.

Officials have been directed to avoid importing sensitive technology from China and are also replacing existing Chinese cameras, the people said, asking not to be identified as the deliberations are private. India is undertaking an ambitious project to replace toll gates with cameras that don’t require vehicles to slow down, keeping traffic flows smoother and faster.
