Are you a frequent traveler on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway? Brace yourself for higher toll charges starting April 1! The toll rates are set to increase by 3% for all vehicles, managed by both the NHAI and MSRDC.
Every year, toll rates undergo a revision on April 1 to ensure a balanced toll structure. This year, heavier vehicles will see a larger increase compared to lighter vehicles, reflecting the wear and tear they cause on the roads.
For car owners, the toll for a single journey will go up by ₹5, making your travel costlier. A round trip will now cost an extra ₹10, affecting daily commuters and weekend travelers alike.
But it’s not just car owners who will feel the pinch. Other vehicle categories, like buses, trucks, and heavy transport vehicles, will see an average increase of ₹15 to ₹20. This hike will add to logistics costs for businesses using the expressway.
Authorities are implementing this annual toll adjustment to maintain the highway infrastructure and ensure a smooth and safe travel experience for everyone using one of India’s busiest expressways. So, be prepared to pay a little more starting April 1!
