Government Cuts Toll Charges by Up to 50% on Highways with Bridges and Tunnels
The government has reduced toll charges by up to 50% on specific sections of National Highways that include structures like tunnels, bridges, and flyovers. This move aims to decrease travel costs for motorists.
The government has reduced the toll charges for particular sections of National Highways (NH) by up to 50 percent. Those highways with structures like tunnels, bridges, flyovers, or elevated stretches will see reduced toll rates. This move will lower traveling costs for motorists.
The rate of fee for use of a section of national highway comprising structures is calculated based on a new formula. 'Structure' refers to an independent bridge, tunnel, flyover, or elevated highway.
User charges at fee plazas on National Highways are collected as per NH Fee Rules, 2008. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has amended the rules and introduced a new method for calculating toll charges.
Under the new method, toll charges will be calculated based on the lesser length of the structure or the total length of the section of the national highway. This change will result in reduced toll rates for stretches with structures such as flyovers, underpasses, and tunnels.
