Executive Summary & Key Takeaways

What it means

  • This gazette notification announces the levy of toll fees on a 37.97 km section of National Highway 63 in Maharashtra, specifically the Asthamode-Tivatyal section between design kilometer 24.030 to kilometer 62.000 (existing km 24.080 to km 62.200).
  • The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is authorized to collect these fees through its officials or a contractor.
  • The toll rates are based on vehicle type and are a percentage of the base rates specified for the year 2007-08, with a 60% application for the specified section. There is also provision for monthly passes and discounts.

Key Changes

  • Toll will be levied on the Asthamode-Tivatyal section of NH-63, from design kilometer 24.030 to kilometer 62.000 (existing km 24.080 to km 62.200), a length of 37.97 km.
  • The toll rates are set at 60% of the base rates for 2007-08, as specified in Table 1 of the notification.
  • A monthly pass for non-commercial vehicles registered within 20 km of the toll plaza is priced at Rs. 340.00 for the year 2024-25, subject to annual revision.
  • Multiple journey passes are available: a 24 hour pass at 1.5 times the single journey fee, and a monthly pass for 50 single journeys at 2/3 of the cost of 50 single journeys.
  • Commercial vehicles registered in the district where the toll plaza is located will receive a 50% discount on toll, if no service or alternate road is available.
  • Vehicles carrying excess load will be charged an additional fee equal to that specified in sub-rule 1A of rule 10 of the National Highways Fee Rules, and will not be allowed to use the highway until the excess load is removed.
  • The base rates are from 2007-08. The actual toll will be calculated on the completed length of the road and revised annually as per rule 5 of the National Highways Fee Rules.
  • The estimated capital cost of the project is Rs. 228.82 crore, which is subject to change due to pending land acquisition, utility shifting, and tree cutting. The NHAI will track the recovery of this cost.

Impact Analysis

Road Users

  • Frequent users can take advantage of multiple journey passes for cost savings.

Commercial Vehicle Operators

  • Operators of overloaded vehicles will face penalties and will not be allowed to use the road until the excess load is removed, which may cause delays and additional costs.

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI)

  • NHAI is required to display the toll rates for the information of users.

Local Economy

  • The project may create some employment opportunities related to toll collection and maintenance.

Suggested Action Items

  • Local authorities should monitor the impact of the toll on the local economy and take necessary steps to mitigate any adverse effects.
