Executive Summary:
This notification from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, effective July 26, 2017, outlines the fee structure for the use of specific sections of National Highways 4, 5, and 45, including bypasses, in Tamil Nadu. It authorizes the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to collect these fees, superseding a previous notification from February 27, 2013, with the exception of actions already completed or omitted. The notification specifies rates, exemptions, and conditions for fee collection.
Key Points / Main Content:
Fee Structure and Collection:
* NHAI is authorized to collect fees for using four-lane sections of specified National Highways.
* Fees are levied at the base rate as of the year 2007-2008, with adjustments for different vehicle types (cars, trucks, etc.).
* Bypasses longer than 60 meters incur a fee of 1.5 times the base rate, excluding certain structures.
* Structures longer than 60 meters are charged by converting their length to equivalent highway length (multiplied by 10) and applying 100% of the base rates.
* Tolls are due and payable at the Vanagaram and Surapattu Toll Plazas.
Exemptions and Special Rates:
* Residents within 20 km of a toll plaza with non-commercial vehicles pay a monthly pass fee of ₹245 for 2017-18, subject to annual revision.
* Commercial vehicles registered in the district where the fee plaza falls, excluding those with national permits, pay 50% of the standard rate if no service road or alternative is available.
* Passes for multiple journeys are available at specified rates.
Overloaded Vehicles:
* Vehicles exceeding permissible weight are charged ten times the applicable fee and cannot use the highway until the excess load is removed.
General Provisions:
* Fee rates must be displayed for user information.
* Actual fees and discounts are calculated based on completed section lengths and revised annually.
* Definitions of vehicle categories and other terms adhere to those specified in the National Highways Fee Determination of Rates and Collection Rules, 2008.
Capital Cost Recovery:
* NHAI will track capital cost recovery through user fees.
* Once the capital cost is recovered (₹867.27 crores as of 31.03.2016), toll rates will be reduced to 40% of the existing rates and revised annually.
Impact Analysis:
NHAI:
* Impact: Authorized to collect user fees and manage toll plazas according to the new fee structure. Responsible for tracking capital cost recovery and adjusting rates accordingly.
* Action Required: Implement the new fee structure, ensure proper display of rates, manage toll collection, and maintain records of capital cost recovery.
Road Users:
* Impact: Subject to revised toll rates for using the specified National Highway sections and bypasses. Different vehicle types and local residents will experience varying impacts based on the new fee structure and exemptions.
* Action Required: Be aware of the new toll rates, understand applicable exemptions, and pay fees accordingly.
Commercial Vehicle Operators:
* Impact: Toll rates change as indicated above.
* Action Required: Ensure vehicles are not overloaded to avoid penalties. Check the availability of service roads to avail of discounts for locally registered vehicles.
MEP Chennai Bypass Toll Road Private Limited (Concessionaire):
* Impact: Arbitration invoked under the OMT concession agreement. User fee collection taken over by NHAI w.e.f. 09.04.2016
* Action Required: Await foreclosure termination of the OMT agreement.
