Vehicles carrying O2 exempted from paying toll fee on highways

In order to provide uninterrupted passage for tankers and containers carrying Liquid Medical Oxygen (LMO) across National Highways, the user fee for such vehicles at Toll Plazas has been exempted.

Keeping in view the current unprecedented demand for Medical Oxygen across the country due to Covid-19 pandemic, containers carrying Liquid Medical Oxygen will be treated at par with other emergency vehicles such as ambulances for a period of two months or till further orders.

Besides the Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) Ministry has also made it mandatory for oxygen containers, tankers and vehicles to be fitted with Vehicle Location Tracking (VLT) devices.
