The revised toll charges for motorists on national highways across the country have come into effect from Tuesday, a senior highways ministry official told PTI. NHAI notifies toll rate hikes for all the national highways and expressways separately. According to him, the change in toll fee is part of an annual exercise to revise the rates that are linked to the 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 the commuters of key routes across the country, including Delhi-Meerut Expressways, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, and Delhi-Jaipur Highway, among others.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_28137\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-28137\" style=\"width: 300px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-medium wp-image-28137\" src=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986-300x190.jpg\" alt=\"NHAI hikes toll charges by 4-5% across country\" width=\"300\" height=\"190\" srcset=\"https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986-300x190.jpg 300w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986-768x487.jpg 768w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986-549x348.jpg 549w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986-442x280.jpg 442w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986-233x148.jpg 233w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986-230x146.jpg 230w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986-360x228.jpg 360w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986-100x63.jpg 100w, https:\/\/jammubulletin.com\/site\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/04\/8126145420251025986.jpg 830w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 300px) 100vw, 300px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-28137\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">NHAI hikes toll charges by 4-5% across country<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>NEW DELHI: Commuters on national highways and expressways will need to pay more for their road journeys, as the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has increased toll charges by an average of 4 to 5 per cent on highway sections across the country.
