The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) raised toll charges by an average of 4-5per cent on tolled highways across the country, according to a notification from the authority.
The revised toll charges are effective immediately and it is likely to further inflate the cost of transportation for individual drivers and commercial vehicle operators. Toll revision is an annual exercise and is linked to changes in the wholesale price index-based inflation.
Every year, it is implemented from April 1. There are around 855 user fee plazas on the national highway network on which user fee is levied as per National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008. Out of these, around 675 are public-funded fee plazas and 180 are concessionaire-operated toll plazas. The revised rates will affect commuters on key routes across the country including the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and Delhi-Jaipur highway. With average monthly collections of around ₹6,000 crore, the NHAI is expected to have garnered nearly ₹70,000 crore in toll collections in the just-ended fiscal year.
