New national highway toll rates from Feb 15 will affect FASTag users
Highway Toll Charges Revised From February 15
Revised toll charges on national highways across India will come into effect from February 15, impacting daily commuters, transport operators and intercity travellers using tolled road networks.
National Highway Toll Rate Revision India
The updated toll structure has been implemented by highway authorities as part of the annual adjustment process linked to inflation and maintenance costs. The revision applies to multiple categories of vehicles including cars, buses and heavy commercial vehicles.
Officials said the periodic revision helps cover expenses related to road construction, upkeep and expansion of national highway infrastructure.
FASTag And Toll Payment Changes
The new rates will automatically apply at toll plazas where electronic collection systems are operational. FASTag users will see updated deductions based on vehicle category and distance covered. Commuters using frequent traveller passes may also notice revised charges depending on the toll section.
Authorities advised motorists to maintain adequate FASTag balance to avoid delays at plazas after the rate update.
Impact On Commuters And Transport Sector
The revised toll charges are expected to marginally increase travel costs for regular highway users and logistics operators. Passenger transport services and goods carriers may adjust fares and freight rates accordingly.
Highway operators said the revision supports long term infrastructure sustainability while ensuring continuous maintenance of road corridors.
