New Delhi: Road travel has become more expensive from today. The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) has increased toll rates. Toll rates have risen since midnight. An increase of Rs 5 to Rs 10 for a car has made the toll more expensive than Rs 800 for commercial vehicles. NHAI has hiked rates by more than 10 per cent. Toll plazas had been closed for more than a year due to farmers’ agitation. Following the hike in petrol, diesel and gas rates, the central government’s decision is likely to exacerbate inflation.
The NHAI has increased tolls on the country’s highways. The better rates will be effective from April 1. According to the notification, the increase is from Rs 10 to Rs 65. The percentage increase is 10 to 18 percent. The minimum one-way toll for small vehicles is Rs 10, while commercial vehicles will have to pay a maximum toll of Rs 65 depending on the distance.
NHAI reviews and changes toll rates at the beginning of each financial year. NHA Giri, Project Director, NHAI, confirmed the change in toll rates.
