NHAI cuts toll collection costs by 44 per cent through contract reforms, tighter monitoring
NEW DELHI: The cost of toll collection at public funded toll plazas has reduced by Rs 2,062 crores, which is nearly 44 per cent in comparison to previous financial year’s (FY’s) charges.
The ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) attributed this savings to various initiatives by the authority such as close monitoring of current contracts, deletion of provision for deemed extension of three months and timely bidding. The cost of toll collection was Rs 4,736 crore in 2023-24 and it came down to Rs 2,674 in 2024-25.
