**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes a government notification regarding the levy of fees on mechanical vehicles using the four-lane Ayodhya-Gorakhpur section of National Highway 28 (New NH27) in Uttar Pradesh. The notification establishes fee rates for various vehicle types and defines the fee collection mechanism, location of fee plazas, and applicable discounts. It also addresses the specific cases of bypasses and structures longer than 60m, and fee exemptions. This notification outlines a plan to recoup construction costs and maintain the highway.
**2. Introduction:**
The purpose of this report is to provide a detailed analysis of a government notification concerning the levy of fees on mechanical vehicles using the Ayodhya-Gorakhpur section of National Highway 28 (New NH27) in Uttar Pradesh. The analysis is based solely on the information provided within the notification text.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* This appears to be a *new policy* establishing a fee structure on a specific section of national highway.
* **Core Objective(s):**
* To levy fees on mechanical vehicles using the four-lane Ayodhya-Gorakhpur section of National Highway 28 (New NH27).
* To authorize the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to collect these fees.
* To recover the capital cost of the project through user fees.
* To generate revenue for the maintenance, management, and operation of the said National Highway.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
* The policy addresses the need to finance the maintenance and operation of the Lucknow to Faizabad to Gorakhpur to Uttar Pradesh-Bihar Border Section of National Highway No. 28.
* The fees are intended to recover the initial investment in the highway's construction (estimated at Rs. 1387.71 crore) and provide ongoing funding for its upkeep.
* The text implies that a concession agreement with Ms Ayodhya Gorakhpur SMS Tolls Pvt Ltd has come to an end, necessitating a new fee structure and collection mechanism.
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
* **Establishment of Fee Structure:** The policy establishes a base fee rate per kilometer for different vehicle types (cars, buses, trucks, etc.), with the base year being 2007-08.
* **Fee Plaza Locations:** Fees are collected at designated fee plazas located at design km 163.000 and design km 198.000 of NH28 (New NH27).
* **Fee Calculation:** The fee is calculated based on the net road section length and the length of equivalent structures (bridges, etc.).
* **Bypass Fees:** Additional fees are levied for the use of bypasses costing Rs 10 crore or more.
* **Monthly Pass:** A monthly pass is available for non-commercial vehicles registered within 20 kilometers of the fee plaza at a rate of Rs 315 for the year 2022-23.
* **Multiple Journey Passes:** Passes are available for multiple journeys at specified rates.
* **Fee Exemption/Reduction:** Vehicles registered in the district where the fee plaza falls receive a 50% reduction if no service road is available.
* **Overloaded Vehicle Fee:** A fee is imposed on overloaded vehicles.
* **Fee Display:** The fee rates must be displayed for public information.
* **Fee Revision:** The actual fee amount is calculated by the Authority and revised annually.
* **Capital Cost Recovery:** Once the capital cost is recovered, the fee leviable shall be reduced to 40% of the rates.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
* **Directly Affected:**
* Owners and operators of all mechanical vehicles using the Ayodhya-Gorakhpur section of National Highway 28 (New NH27).
* Residents living within 20 kilometers of the fee plazas.
* Commercial vehicle operators, particularly those registered in the district where the fee plaza is located.
* **Other Stakeholders:**
* National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
* The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
* Contractors involved in fee collection.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency:** The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is responsible for implementing the policy, including fee collection and annual revision of rates.
* **Timelines/Procedures:** The policy is effective from the date of the end of concession period with concessionaire. The text details specific chainages for fee plaza locations and bypasses, implying surveying and placement activities. Fee revisions are to be conducted annually.
* The Authority shall maintain a record of the recovery of capital cost through user fee realised
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
* **Intended Outcomes:**
* Generation of revenue to cover the maintenance and operational costs of the Ayodhya-Gorakhpur section of National Highway 28 (New NH27).
* Recovery of the capital cost of the project.
* Improved highway maintenance and services due to the availability of dedicated funding.
* **Potential Impact:**
* Increased transportation costs for users of the highway.
* Potential economic impact on businesses that rely on transportation along this route.
* Positive impact on the local economy through highway improvements and related infrastructure development.
**9. Conclusion:**
The government notification analyzed in this report establishes a comprehensive framework for the levy and collection of fees on the Ayodhya-Gorakhpur section of National Highway 28 (New NH27). The policy aims to ensure the sustainable maintenance and operation of the highway by recovering its capital cost and generating ongoing revenue through user fees. This framework will directly impact highway users and should have a beneficial impact on local economies by improving transportation infrastructure, but is contingent upon appropriate revisions and monitoring.
