New NHAI toll formula lowers charges on bridges, tunnels and flyovers
Structures measuring 60 metres or less will not be treated separately for this purpose.The revised formula will apply to highway stretches containing one or more independent bridges, tunnels, flyovers or elevated highways. The amendment also places a ceiling on the chargeable distance by requiring authorities to adopt whichever of the two prescribed calculations results in the lower tollable length. Earlier, the fee for such stretches was generally linked to 10 times the length of the structure, a provision intended to account for their higher construction and maintenance costs.The Gazette notification provides illustrations of how the revised formula would work.
