The Government today notified an amendment to the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008, to provide relief to users of National Expressways that are only partially operational. The amended rules will come into effect from the 15th of this month. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways informed that when a National Expressway is not opened end-to-end, the toll fee will now be charged for the completed stretch at the lower rate applicable to National Highways. The Ministry said that the amendment aims to promote greater use of partially opened Expressway stretches. It added that the move will help decongest existing parallel National Highways, facilitate faster movement of passengers and goods and reduce pollution caused by traffic congestion on older routes.
