Commuting on high-speed corridors is set to get marginally costly for vehicle owners. Releasing the revised figures that are going to be applicable over the network of national highways and expressways in the state, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) on Thursday announced that the toll charges are going to be up by a small margin.While commuting on the national highways would get costlier by a maximum of 10 per cent for passenger car owners, the expressways highways authority in UP has hiked the toll charges in the range of 1.50 per cent to 3.50 per cent. Car and SUV owners plying via Lucknow-Agra Expressway would have to shell out ₹675 instead of ₹665 from now on, while two-wheeler riders would have to spend ₹335 instead of ₹330 for a single trip.Similarly, user charges have been increased for four-wheeler and two-wheeler owners plying via Gorakhpur Link Expressway by ₹10 and ₹5, respectively, having been revised to ₹295 and ₹145, respectively. Increased hike, though, would be effective for commercial vehicles, buses, heavy commercial vehicles having multiple axles though.

For commuting over Bundelkhand and Purvanchal expressways, two-wheeler, car and SUV owners would not have to pay anything extra this time as toll rates have been left unchanged.

NHAI‘s UP west regional officer, Gautam Vishal, said, “The toll charges are revised every year on April 1 as per the rules that have been stipulated in our act (National Highway Fee Rules, 2008). National highway users commuting between Lucknow and neighbouring districts and in other parts of the state would have to shell out an additional 5 per cent to 10 per cent.”
