* **Structure Fee (Table 4):** Specifies fee calculation method of converting the length of structures into an equivalent length of highway by multiplying the length of such structures by an equalization factor of 10 for structures exceeding 60m in length, applying to the fee plaza at Km 165.150.
* **Monthly Pass:** Establishes a monthly pass rate of Rs 285.00 for non-commercial vehicles registered to residents within 20 kilometers of the fee plaza, subject to annual revision.
* **Multiple Journey Passes (Table 5):** Defines rates for two one-way journeys within 24 hours (1.5 times the one-way fee) and for 50 single journeys within one month (two-thirds of the fee for 50 single journeys).
* **Discount for Local Commercial Vehicles:** Specifies a 50% discount for commercial vehicles registered in the district where the fee plaza is located, excluding vehicles plying under National permit, provided no service road or alternative road is available.
* **Overloaded Vehicle Fee:** Mandates a fee for overloaded vehicles entering the National Highway, as per the existing rules.
* **Display of Fee Rates:** Requires the display of fee rates for user information.
* **Annual Revision:** Requires the NHAI to revise fee rates annually based on the completed length of the section and in accordance with established rules.

* **Timelines:** The fee rates are effective from the date of the notification (November 23, 2021) and are subject to annual revision. The monthly pass rate is specified for the year 2021-22.
* **Procedures:** The NHAI is responsible for calculating and revising the actual fee amounts annually and publishing them in newspapers.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact:**
The likely intended outcomes of this policy are:
* Revenue generation for the maintenance and improvement of the National Highway 12 section.
* Recovery of the project's capital cost (estimated at Rs 809.160 crore).
* Regulation of overloaded vehicles on the highway.
