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 Financial (April- 2020-21 2021-22 2022-23 2023-24 2024-25 Year December, 2025) User fee collection 3,330.39 3,940.03 5,053.58 5,697.04 6,289.22 5,386.16 (in crore rupees) 2Total user fee collection (Rs. in Crs.)

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. 3ANNEXURE A ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN REPLY TO PART (a) to (b) OF LOK SABHA STARRED QUESTION NO. 2 FOR ANSWER ON 29.01.2026 ASKED BY SHRI BRIJENDRA SINGH OLA REGARDING TOLL PLAZAS IN RAJASTHAN. ---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The details of user fee plazas operational on National Highways in the state of Rajasthan: Tollable NH No. Name of Project Stretch Length Name of Fee Plaza (New) (Km.)
