## Policy Analysis Report: National Highway Fee Levy on NH-709 Extn. in Rajasthan
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes a notification from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India, regarding the levy of fees for the use of the 2-lane with paved shoulder section, bypasses, and structures on National Highway 709 Extn. in the state of Rajasthan. This notification, effective June 23rd, 2025, establishes the fee structure, specifies applicable rates for different vehicle types and road sections, and outlines procedures for fee collection and revision. The core purpose of this policy is to establish a user fee to recover the investment and maintenance costs associated with the specified section of NH-709 Extn. Key findings include specific fee rates based on vehicle type and road section, provisions for monthly passes and discounts, and the role of the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) in fee collection and annual revisions. This report is for the Affected Industry.
**2. Introduction:**
This report provides an informative overview of the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways' notification concerning the imposition of user fees on the National Highway 709 Extn. in Rajasthan. The analysis is based solely on the provided policy text. The purpose of this report is to inform the affected industry of their new obligations.
**3. Policy Overview:**
* This notification supersedes Gazette Fee Notification published vide S.O. 2588 E dated 05.08.2020.
* **Core Objective(s):** The core objective of this notification is to levy fees for the use of the specified sections of National Highway 709 Extn. in Rajasthan to recover costs, as inferred from the text which mentions the capital cost of the project (Rupees 287.517 crores) and the NHAI maintaining a record of the recovery of capital cost through user fee realised.
**4. Background and Rationale:**
As the notification supersedes a previous gazette notification it serves to amend the earlier policy. This amendment revises the fee structure and collection methods for the specific stretch of the National Highway.
The likely reason for this specific amendment is to update and revise the fee structure. This is suggested by the text's detail in specifying fee rates for different types of vehicles and road sections (2-lane with paved shoulder sections, bypasses, and structures). The need for revision could be driven by factors like changes in traffic volume, maintenance costs, or the need to address specific issues arising from the previous fee structure as there are no longer "vehicles plying under National permit registered in the district where the fee plaza falls".
**5. Key Provisions / Changes:**
This notification amends the existing fee structure for National Highway 709 Extn., introducing the following key changes:
* **Fee Structure:** Specifies fee rates based on vehicle type (Car, Jeep, Van, Light Motor Vehicle, Light Commercial Vehicle, etc.) and the type of road section used:
* 60% of the base rate for 2-lane paved shoulder sections (44.745 km).
* 90% of the base rate for bypasses (12.555 km).
* Fees apply to equivalent structure length of 1.250 km.
* **Fee Plaza Locations:** Details the locations of the fee plaza (At Km 33.850 of NH709Extn. Near Village Thirpali Badi) and the chainage for which the fee is payable.
* **Discounts:**
* Fee for commercial vehicle excluding vehicles plying under National permit registered in the district where the fee plaza falls shall be 50 of the prescribed rate for that category of vehicle provided no service road or alternative road is available for use of such commercial vehicles.
* **Overloaded Vehicles:** The notification states that the driver or owner or a person incharge of a mechanical vehicle which is loaded in excess of permissible load specified for its category, shall be liable to pay fee for entering the overloaded vehicle on the National Highway to the fee collecting agency, equal to the fee specified in subrule 1A of rule 10 of the said rules, and shall not be entitled to make use of the highway section unless the excess load has been removed from such mechanical vehicle.
* **Monthly Passes:** Sets the rate for monthly passes for non-commercial vehicles registered to individuals residing within 20 kilometers of the toll plaza at Rs. 350 for the year 2025-26, subject to annual revision.
The effect of these changes is to introduce a more detailed and specific fee structure based on the type of vehicle, road section, and usage patterns.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
Based on the provided text, the target audience and stakeholders most directly affected by this notification include:
* **Vehicle Owners and Operators:** All owners and operators of vehicles using the specified sections of NH-709 Extn., particularly commercial vehicle operators and those residing near the toll plaza.
* **Residents near the Toll Plaza:** Residents within 20km of the toll plaza who own non-commercial vehicles.
* **National Highway Authority of India (NHAI):** Responsible for the collection, management, and annual revision of the fees.
* **Contractors (if any):** Those contracted by NHAI to collect fees.
* **State Government of Rajasthan:** Since the initial entrustment was to the State Government of Rajasthan.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible agency/bodies:** The National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is responsible for the implementation of this notification, including fee collection, annual revision of rates, and maintaining records of capital cost recovery.
* **Timelines or procedures:** The notification is effective from June 23rd, 2025. Fee rates are subject to annual revision according to the rules.
* **Fee Collection Procedure:** The notification authorizes the NHAI to collect fees either through its officials or through a contractor.
* **Display of Fee Rates:** The fee rates will be displayed for the information of the users in accordance with the rules.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The likely intended outcome of these changes is to:
* **Generate Revenue:** Collect user fees to recover the capital cost of the project (Rupees 287.517 crores) and fund the maintenance and operation of the specified sections of NH-709 Extn.
* **Ensure Fair Pricing:** Implement a fee structure that differentiates between vehicle types and road sections, ensuring that users pay fees commensurate with their usage and impact on the highway.
* **Manage Traffic Flow:** The differential rates for overloaded vehicles, and passes for local residents could incentivize compliance with traffic regulations and provide affordable access for nearby residents.
* **Update Fee Structure:** Update the fee structure to reflect the current economic environment.
**9. Conclusion:**
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways' notification concerning the levy of user fees on National Highway 709 Extn. in Rajasthan is a significant policy document that establishes a fee structure and collection mechanism for this highway section. It aims to generate revenue for the recovery of capital costs and fund maintenance, impacting all vehicle owners and operators utilizing this route, particularly commercial entities. The detailed specifications of fee rates, discount structures, and responsibilities of the NHAI underscore the comprehensive nature of this policy and its importance in managing and maintaining this critical infrastructure asset.
