This annual adjustment of the highway user fee was originally scheduled to take effect on April 1. However, the increase was delayed due to the Lok Sabha elections.
"The new user fee will come into effect from 3.6.2024," a senior NHAI official announced on Sunday.
The revision of toll fees is a yearly exercise tied to changes in the wholesale price index (CPI)-based inflation.
Across the national highway network, there are approximately 855 toll plazas where fees are collected. These fees are regulated by the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008.
Out of these toll plazas, around 675 are public-funded, and 180 are operated by concessionaires.
