Mumbai, Most of the toll tax levied on highways in the country at present is mostly levied at the entry point. However, the toll tax will be levied only at the exit gate on the 301 km long Hindu Heart Emperor Balasaheb Thackeray Express Highway being constructed between Mumbai and Nagpur.
As a result, the driver will have to pay toll tax for the number of kilometers used by the highway. Drivers on most state or national highways are required to pay full or half toll, but this is the first time the system has been introduced in the country, in which the toll tax will be the same as the amount traveled on the highway.
For example, if a driver travels from Bhiwandi to Kokamathan exit point near Shirdi, he will have to pay a toll tax of Rs. 215 only. The one-way toll tax for traveling from Mumbai to Nagpur on this highway will be Rs.
Also, Toltex will go directly to the Maharashtra government instead of contractors or agents. According to senior officials, the number, entry time and location of the vehicle from which it will enter the highway will be recorded. All lanes of the highway will have Fastag Toll Plaza, along with cash, card, digital payment and toll tax can also be paid through UPI.
A sum of Rs 4.5 crore has been spent on the construction of the express highway, which is estimated to be recovered in 20 years through toll tax. If you calculate the toll tax per kilometer on this super express highway, the drivers will have to pay a toll tax of Rs 1.5 per kilometer.
In which the round figure of 0 or 5 will continue to increase in three years. From Mumbai to Igatpuri (Pimpri exit), Nashik (Gonde exit), Aurangabad or Ellora (Maliwada exit) and Lonar / Sheshgaon / Karanja via Sindakhedraja exit will have to pay Rs.
