**Executive Summary** This document is a notification from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, issuing the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) (Amendment) Rules, 2026. These rules amend the 2008 rules regarding toll collection on national highways and come into effect on February 15, 2026.

This period can be extended for reasons recorded in writing. **Impact Analysis** * **Ministry of Road Transport and Highways** * **Impact:** Responsible for implementing and enforcing the amended rules regarding toll collection. * **Action Required:** Ensure compliance with the new rules and potentially extend the one-year period for partially operational expressways if necessary, with written justification. * **National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) / Toll Operators** * **Impact:** Required to adjust toll collection practices according to the new rules, particularly regarding partially operational expressways. * **Action Required:** Implement the new toll rates for partially operational expressways from February 15, 2026, and monitor the operational status of expressways to determine when full toll rates apply. * **Commuters/Users of National Highways and Expressways** * **Impact:** Toll rates on national highways and expressways may change based on the new rules, particularly for expressways that are not fully operational. * **Action Required:** Be aware of the new toll rates and how they apply to the expressways they use.
