The Indian government has introduced amendments to the user-fee rule pertaining to national highway stretches in collaboration with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). The revision aims to address long-standing concerns regarding toll charges, ensuring a more equitable and efficient system for road users. This development comes as a response to public outcry and demands for a fairer approach to highway tolls, which have often been a subject of contention. The tweaks to the user-fee rule will include provisions for enhanced transparency and accountability in toll collection. Additionally, it is expected to streamline the toll collection process, making it more convenient for commuters and reducing congestion at toll booths. This initiative is seen as a positive step towards enhancing the overall highway infrastructure experience in the country.
