This is a new policy establishing user fees for a specific stretch of highway. The key findings include the specification of fee rates based on vehicle type and road length, the establishment of a fee plaza at a designated location, and provisions for monthly passes and discounts under certain conditions.
**2. Introduction:**
This report aims to provide a comprehensive overview of a notification issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways concerning the imposition of user fees on the Chandikhole-Bhadrak section of National Highway No. 5 (New NH16) in Odisha. The analysis is based solely on the provided policy text and aims to inform affected parties about the key provisions and implications of this notification.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* This is a new policy establishing user fees.
* **Core Objective(s):**
* To levy a fee on mechanical vehicles using the Chandikhole-Bhadrak section of National Highway No. 5 (New NH16) in Odisha.
* To authorize the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to collect this fee.
* To recover the capital cost of the project through user fees.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
The policy addresses the need for funding the maintenance and development of national highways. By levying user fees, the government aims to generate revenue to recover the capital cost of the project and ensure the sustainable upkeep of the Chandikhole-Bhadrak section of NH-5 (New NH16). The policy text mentions entrusting the Bhubaneswar to Balasore section of National Highway No. 5 to the National Highways Authority of India, suggesting this fee is part of a broader strategy for highway management and financing.
**5. Key Provisions:**
This policy establishes a user fee system for the Chandikhole-Bhadrak section of National Highway No. 5 (New NH16). Key provisions include:
* **Fee Structure:** The fee is determined by the type of vehicle and the length of the road section used. A base rate per kilometer for the year 2007-08 is specified for different vehicle categories (Car/Jeep/Van, Light Commercial Vehicle, Bus/Truck, Three Axle Vehicles, HCM/EME/MAV, Oversized Vehicles).
* **Fee Plaza Location:** The fee is payable at a fee plaza located at Design Km 102.500 of NH5 New NH16 near Bhagada Narayanpur village in Bhadrak district of Odisha.
* **Road Length Calculation:** The fee is levied for a net road section length of 71.3868 km.
* **Structure Length Inclusion:** The policy includes a provision for incorporating the length of structures (bridges) longer than 60m into the fee calculation by converting the length of such structures into an equivalent length of highway by multiplying the length of such structures by an equalisation factor of 10.
* **Monthly Passes:** A monthly pass is available for non-commercial vehicles registered to residents within 20km of the fee plaza at a rate of Rs 315.00 for the year 2022-23, subject to annual revision.
* **Multiple Journey Passes:** Passes for multiple journeys are available, offering discounts on the standard fee.
* **Discount for Local Commercial Vehicles:** A 50% discount is provided to commercial vehicles (excluding national permit vehicles) registered in the district where the fee plaza is located, provided no service road or alternative road is available.
* **Overloaded Vehicle Fee:** Vehicles exceeding permissible load limits are subject to additional fees.
* **Annual Revision:** The fee rates will be revised annually based on the base rate and the completed length of the section.
* **Capital Cost Recovery:** Once the capital cost of the project (estimated at Rs 1746.35 crore, subject to variation) is recovered, the fee will be reduced to 40% of the rates.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The primary target audience and stakeholders directly affected by this policy are:
* Owners and operators of mechanical vehicles using the Chandikhole-Bhadrak section of National Highway No. 5 (New NH16) in Odisha.
* Residents living within 20 kilometers of the fee plaza.
* Commercial vehicle operators registered in the Bhadrak district.
* The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
* Contractors involved in fee collection.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency:** The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is responsible for collecting the fee, either directly or through a contractor.
* **Timelines/Procedures:** The policy specifies that the fee rates will be revised annually. The notification is effective from September 19, 2022. The capital cost is subject to further adjustments as the project is completed.
* The actual amount of fee to be charged from the mechanical vehicles and the discounts will be calculated by the Authority on the basis of the completed length of the section and revised annually in accordance with the rule 5 of the said rules and the same shall be published in at least one newspaper in English and vernacular language.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact:**
The expected outcomes of this policy include:
* Revenue generation for the maintenance and development of the Chandikhole-Bhadrak section of NH-5 (New NH16).
* Recovery of the capital cost of the project.
* Improved road infrastructure and services for users of the highway.
* Potential economic impact on local residents and businesses due to the implementation of user fees.
**9. Conclusion:**
The notification analyzed establishes a user fee system for the Chandikhole-Bhadrak section of National Highway No. 5 (New NH16) in Odisha. This policy aims to generate revenue for infrastructure development and maintenance. The implementation of the policy will directly affect users of the highway and will require careful monitoring and enforcement by the NHAI.
