Smart cameras’ work across Goa spurs 46k traffic challans till June

Porvorim: Smart traffic cameras installed at various locations across Goa generated 46,409 challans in the first three months of the current fiscal year 2025-26 (till June), with fines amounting to nearly Rs 5.9 crore, according to the data shared in the assembly by transport minister Mauvin Godinho.

Of the total fines, approximately Rs 1.2 crore has been collected to date. Smart cameras have become an important element in Goa’s traffic enforcement, automating the detection of violations such as speeding and red-light jumping.

Parallel data shows that across all sources, a total of 36,535 challans were issued so far in 2025-26 (till June), amounting to Rs 5.9 crore in fines, with Rs 1.2 crore collected. This suggests that challans from smart cameras’ work make up almost as much as the manually issued challans recorded so far this year.

In the previous fiscal year (2024-25), 93,249 challans were issued after smart traffic cameras detected violations, with fines totalling Rs 9.6 crore, of which Rs 3.8 crore was collected. This is as opposed to 1.2 lakh manual challans issued in 2024-25 (the full fiscal year), with fines amounting to Rs 21.6 crore, of which Rs 9.4 crore was collected.
