Ever wondered how your toll fee is calculated? Here, we are going to break down the formula used for toll collection. To begin with, user fees for National Highways are calculated based on two sets of rules. For publicly funded toll plazas (EPC/HAM/BOT-Annuity), the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008 apply, and for BOT (Toll) fee plazas, the then applicable Fee Rules and provisions of the Concession Agreement are used.
According to the 2008 Rules, the toll rate for a section of a four-lane or more national highway is calculated as: Toll rate = Length of the section (km) x Base rate per km (Rs/km).
