## Report on National Highway Fee Levy - Parwanoo-Solan Section (Himachal Pradesh)
**1. Executive Summary:**
This report analyzes a government notification (S.O. 1253(E)) regarding the levy of fees on mechanical vehicles using the Parwanoo-Solan section of National Highway No. 22 (New NH05) in Himachal Pradesh. The notification, issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, establishes fee rates for different vehicle types based on road and structure length, and details the locations and conditions under which these fees are applicable. The core purpose is to authorize the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to collect user fees for the specified highway section, contributing towards recovery of the project's capital cost. Key findings include specific fee structures based on vehicle type, road length, and structure length, along with provisions for monthly passes, discounts, and overloaded vehicles.
**2. Introduction:**
This report provides an informative overview of the notification S.O. 1253(E), issued by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, concerning the levy of fees on mechanical vehicles for the use of the Parwanoo-Solan section of National Highway No. 22 (New NH05) in Himachal Pradesh. The analysis is based solely on the information provided within the policy text of the notification.
**3. Policy Overview:**
This is a new policy establishing fees for the use of a specific section of the national highway. The core objective, inferred from the text, is to levy and collect fees from users of the Parwanoo-Solan section of National Highway No. 22 (New NH05) to facilitate the recovery of the project's capital cost by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
**4. Background and Rationale:**
The policy addresses the need to generate revenue for the maintenance and upkeep of the National Highway infrastructure. The implementation of user fees allows for the recovery of a portion of the capital investment made in constructing and improving the Parwanoo-Solan section of National Highway No. 22 (New NH05), in the state of Himachal Pradesh. This is implied by the explicit reference to the project's estimated capital cost (Rs. 1302.98 crore) and the intention to reduce the fee to 40% after recovery of the initial costs. The notification references a previous notification (S.O. 1307(E) dated 04th April 2016), which entrusted the specified stretch of the highway to the NHAI.
**5. Key Provisions:**
This policy establishes a fee structure for mechanical vehicles using the Parwanoo-Solan section of National Highway No. 22 (New NH05). The following key provisions are mandated:
* **Fee Structure:** Fees are levied on mechanical vehicles based on the type of vehicle (Car, Jeep, Van, Light Motor Vehicle, Light Commercial Vehicle, Light Goods Vehicle, Mini Bus, Bus or Truck Two Axles, Threeaxle commercial vehicles, Heavy Construction Machinery HCM or Earth Moving Equipment, EME or Multi Axle Vehicle MAV four to six axles, Oversized Vehicles seven or more axles), and the length of the road section used. Base rates per kilometer are defined for the base year 2007-08 (Table 1).
* **Structure Fees:** Additional fees are charged for the use of structures (viaducts, tunnels, ROBs, and flyovers) having a length greater than 60 meters. The length of these structures is converted into an equivalent road length by multiplying it by a factor of 10.
* **Fee Plaza Location:** The primary fee plaza is located at Design Km 80.722 of NH 22 (New NH05) near Sanwara village in Solan district of Himachal Pradesh.
* **Monthly Pass:** A monthly pass is available for non-commercial vehicles registered to individuals residing within a 20 km radius of the fee plaza at a rate of Rs. 275.00 for the year 2020-21, subject to annual revision.
* **Multiple Journey Passes:** Discounted rates are provided for multiple journeys on the highway section (Table 4).
* **Commercial Vehicle Discount:** A 50% fee reduction is applicable 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 the permissible load are subject to an additional fee as per sub-rule 1A of rule 10 of the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008.
* **Annual Revision:** The fee rates will be calculated and revised annually based on the base rate, completed section length, and relevant rules. The revised rates will be published in English and vernacular language newspapers.
* **Capital Cost Recovery:** The Authority (NHAI) will maintain a record of capital cost recovery through user fees. After the capital cost is recovered, the fee will be reduced to 40% of the revised rates.
**6. Target Audience and Stakeholders:**
The primary target audience and stakeholders include:
* Owners and operators of all mechanical vehicles using the Parwanoo-Solan section of National Highway No. 22 (New NH05).
* Residents living within a 20 km radius of the fee plaza near Sanwara village in Solan district, Himachal Pradesh.
* Commercial vehicle operators registered in the district where the fee plaza falls.
* The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), responsible for collecting the fees.
* The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, as the issuing authority.
* Contractors engaged by the NHAI for fee collection.
**7. Implementation Aspects (Inferred):**
* **Responsible Agency:** The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is the responsible agency for collecting the fees and implementing the policy.
* **Collection Method:** The NHAI is authorized to collect the fee either through its officials or through a contractor.
* **Annual Revision:** The fee rates will be revised annually, as specified in rule 5 of the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008.
* **Display of Fee Rates:** The fee rates must be displayed for user information in accordance with rule 12 of the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008.
**8. Expected Outcomes / Impact of Changes:**
The likely intended outcomes of this policy include:
* Generation of revenue for the NHAI to recover the capital cost of the Parwanoo-Solan highway section.
* Improved maintenance and upkeep of the highway infrastructure.
* Regulation of overloaded vehicles on the highway.
* Potential for reduced fees after the capital cost is recovered.
**9. Conclusion:**
The notification S.O. 1253(E) establishes a fee structure for the Parwanoo-Solan section of National Highway No. 22 (New NH05) in Himachal Pradesh. This policy enables the NHAI to collect user fees for road usage and support the financial sustainability of the highway infrastructure. The detailed provisions outlined in the notification provide a framework for fee collection, discounts, and compliance, significantly impacting vehicle operators and local residents, whilst contributing to the maintenance and development of the national highway network.
