TOLL ON PARTIALLY OPENED E-WAYS LIKE DELHI-MUMBAI TO BE SAME AS THAT OF OTHER NHS

In a relief to commuters using partially opened expressways such as Delhi-Mumbai, Delhi-Katra and Amritsar-Jamnagar, the toll on these corridors will be same as that of other NHs, as per a notification issued by the road transport ministry. Till now the toll on expressways was 1.25 times of other NH stretches.

The notification issued this week said that the rate of fee for use of a national expressway which is in operation for only a part of its notified length shall be levied at the rate of normal highways “for a period of one year” or till the expressway is fully operational, whichever is earlier. The finance ministry giving go ahead to this proposal of highways ministry considering that commuters don’t avail the full facility of an expressway till the entire stretch isn’t opened.
