New Delhi, Jun 5: The government has reduced the toll rates up to 50 per cent for the sections of National Highways that have structures like tunnels, bridges, flyovers or elevated stretches, a move which will lower travelling cost for motorists.
\nUser charges at fee plazas on National Highways are collected as per NH Fee Rules, 2008. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has made amendment to 2008 rules and notified a new method or formula for calculating toll charges.
\n\u201cThe rate of fee for use of a section of national highway comprising of structure or structures shall be calculated by adding ten times the length of structure or structures to the length of the section of national highway excluding the length of structure or structures, or five times the total length of section of national highway, whichever is lesser,\u201d said the notification dated July 2, 2025.
\n\u2018Structure\u2019 means an independent bridge, tunnel or flyover or elevated highway.
\nTo explain the new toll charges, the ministry has cited examples.
\nIn one of the examples, it said that if a section of a national highway has a total length of 40 kilometers, comprising of structure alone, the minimum length shall be computed: \u201910 x 40 (ten times length of structure) = 400 kilometers or five times the total length of section of a national highway = 5 x 40 = 200 kilometers\u2019.
\n\u201cUser fee shall be calculated on the lesser length i.e. for 200 kilometers\u201d and not 400 kilometers. In this case the user charge is only on half (50 per cent) of the road length.
\nAccording the extant rules, users pay ten times the regular toll for every kilometre of structure on national highways.
\nA senior official of National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) said the existing toll calculation method was meant to offset higher construction cost associated with such infrastructure.
\nThe revised notfication issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways reduces the toll rate for stretches such as flyovers, underpasses and tunnels up to 50 per cent, the official said.<\/p>\n
