Commuters Alert: Toll Charges Across Country To Go Up By 4 Per Cent

New Delhi: Travellers across India would now have to pay more for their road journey as the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) implemented a toll rate hike starting April 1, 2025. The revised rates are expected to impact both commuters and commercial operators across, especially ones travelling via key routes such as Delhi-Meerut Expressway, Lucknow highways and the Eastern Peripheral Expressway.

The updated toll rates apply to all national highways and expressways and are part of an annual revision process linked to changes in the wholesale price index-based inflation.
