The government has given a big relief to the general public by reducing the toll charges by up to 50 percent. This reduction has been done on those sections of the national highway where bridges, tunnels, flyovers or elevated highways are present.
There is a relief news for vehicle owners, especially commercial vehicle owners. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has reduced the toll fee by 50 percent on those parts of the National Highway where bridges, tunnels, flyovers or elevated highways are built. This decision will give great relief to the owners of commercial vehicles, because till now they had to pay a very high toll.
Earlier, the toll on these structured sections was 10 times more than on normal roads. Now the government has made a new formula for this, which will make the calculation of toll more practical and cheaper.
How will the new toll calculation be done?
For example, if the highway has a 40 km stretch, of which 30 km is structured and 10 km is normal road, then the toll will be calculated on the basis of the lower of 10 x 30 + 10 = 310 km or 5 x 40 = 200 km, i.e. 200 km. This will reduce the toll cost considerably.
Who will get the most benefit?
Commercial vehicles will get the most relief because their toll charge is usually 4-5 times more than private vehicles. This will directly benefit many highways like Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, Dwarka Expressway, Nashik Phata-Khed and Danapur-Bihta.
When will the new rules be applicable?
This rule will be applicable on the old toll plazas from the next toll revision date. This rule will be applicable on the new toll plazas from the date of commencement of operations. At the toll plazas which are operated by a private company, this rule will be applicable after the expiry of the agreement period.
What will change overall?
Now the passengers travelling on bridges and elevated highways will have to pay much less toll, which will make travelling cheaper and provide relief to the people. This will prove to be a big benefit especially for those driving trucks, buses and other commercial vehicles.
