National Highway Toll Rules

As part of this toll reform, the government introduced the 'Jitni Doori, Utna Toll' policy. Vehicles with GNSS tracking won't be charged for trips up to 20 km. This ensures accurate toll billing based on the exact distance traveled. National Highway Toll Rules 2008 were amended, and this program is being piloted on select highways.
