The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has increased toll charges at several major toll plazas across Punjab and Haryana, affecting daily commuters and freight operators.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) announced a hike in toll fees at key toll plazas in Punjab and Haryana, effective from the beginning of this month. The decision was taken to support the maintenance and upgrade of highway infrastructure in the region.
NHAI officials said the increase will be applied uniformly across all major toll points, with the aim of generating additional revenue for road safety and improvement projects. While the exact percentage rise varies by location, the change is expected to impact both passenger vehicles and commercial transport.
Transport operators and daily commuters have expressed concerns about the added cost, especially for long‑haul freight traffic that frequently uses these routes. Several local transport associations have called for a review of the hike to ensure it does not unduly burden the logistics sector.
NHAI has assured that the new rates will be transparent and that detailed information will be published on its website for public reference.
