BY SHRI BRIJENDRA SINGH OLA REGARDING TOLL PLAZAS IN
RAJASTHAN.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
(a) to (b) The total length of National Highways under tolling in the State
of Rajasthan is 8,731 kilometres, as against a total tolled length of
55,904 kilometres across the country. Further, a total of 174 fee plazas is
operational in the State of Rajasthan, compared to 1,144 fee plazas
operational on National Highways nationwide. The Details of fee plazas
operational in the state of Rajasthan are at Annexure-A.
The average distance between user fee plazas for tolling in the State of
Rajasthan is 50.18 kilometres, whereas nationwide average
distance between user fee plazas for tolling is 48.87 kilometres.
Moreover, in all such cases, user fee is levied at the fee plaza based on
the project influence length of the respective fee plaza and not on its
specific location within the project influence length.
The Ministry has undertaken various measures, such as review of fee
plaza establishments by the committee constituted for the purpose and
implementation of a barrier-less tolling system, to regulate collection of
user fee over shorter distances, in accordance with the provisions of the
National Highways Fee Rules, 2008.
(c) Total user fee collection (Rs. in Crs.) during last five years in the state
of Rajasthan is as below:-
2025-26

(d) All user fee plazas have been established on National Highways as
per the respective user fee notification published in the Gazette of India,
in accordance with the provisions of the National Highways Fee
(Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008, and the Concession
Agreement. Fee Plazas has been established on NHs based on detailed
analysis regarding such as land availability, forest area, minimum
diversion of traffic, Municipal limits, and safety and road geometry.
In effort to enhance toll operations and enable seamless movement of
vehicles, the Government has decided to implement Multi-Lane Free
Flow (MLFF) Electronic Toll Collection system, which facilitates barrier-
less tolling using integrated technologies including Automatic Number
Plate Recognition (ANPR) with AI analytics and RFID-based Electronic
Toll Collection (FASTag), where the user fee shall be charged from the
vehicle users without having to stop, slow down or stay in a given fee
plaza lane.
Further, the Government has introduced a provision for an Annual Pass
in the National Highway Fee Rules, 2008, for non-commercial cars,
jeeps, and vans, across the country. According to this provision, a
person owning a mechanical vehicle for non-commercial purpose,
having a valid and functional Fastag, shall be eligible to obtain a pass
on payment of fee of rupees three thousand which shall be valid for one
year or for two hundred crossings through any fee plaza on a national
highway, whichever is earlier.
