Government Has cut toll prices by up to 50 percent for the National Highway stretchs that have tunnels, bridges, flyovers or structures like elevated roads. This step will reduce travel costs for drivers. The collection of user charge on the toll plaza on National Highways (National Highways) is collected as per the National Highway Fee Rules, 2008. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has amended the 2008 rules and notified a new method or formula for calculating toll prices.
What is said in notification

A senior official of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said that the existing toll calculation formula aims to compensate the high construction costs associated with such infrastructure.
