Coronavirus lockdown: Toll collection resumes on National Highways

Toll collection on National Highways across the country resumed on Monday in line with government directives, a move which is being opposed by transporters.

The central government on March 25, had announced temporary suspension of toll collection following directives by the Ministry of Home Affairs in the wake of coronavirus pandemic.

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) as well as highway developers resumed collection at toll plazas.

Highways developer IRB Infrastructure Developers said all its Special Purpose Vehicles (SPVs) “have resumed their toll collection from 00.00 hours today” in line with the NHAI directives.
