The government has reduced the toll charges for particular sections of National Highways (NH) by up to 50 percent. Those highways which have structures like tunnels, bridges, flyovers or elevated stretches will see the reduced toll rates. This move will lower travelling cost for motorists.
“The 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,” said the notification dated July 2, 2025.
‘Structure’ means an independent bridge, tunnel or flyover or elevated highway.
User 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.
