Toll collection surges 26% to ₹7,053 cr in August
New Delhi: The introduction of the annual toll pass on Independence Day, higher freight movement ahead of the festive season, increased toll rates from April 1, and addition of new toll roads boosted toll collection to the second-highest ever at ₹7,052.91 crore in August.
This is despite heavy monsoon rains in several parts of the country, damaging national highways and disrupting movement of commercial and private vehicles.
