RAJASTHAN: There is important news for motorists traveling on the Delhi-Jaipur National Highway (NH-48). Toll tax rates on the national highway have been increased, making travel along this route more expensive than before. With the implementation of the new rates, thousands of daily commuters, private vehicle owners, and commercial transport operators will face an additional financial burden.
According to the revised rates issued by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), toll charges have been hiked across various vehicle categories. Specific new rates have been set for cars, jeeps, vans, buses, trucks, and multi-axle vehicles. Toll plazas will now collect the revised charges from all vehicles.
New Toll Rates (Example)
Vehicle Category Old Toll New Toll
Car/Jeep/Van ₹XXX ₹XXX
LCV ₹XXX ₹XXX
Bus/Truck ₹XXX ₹XXX
Heavy Vehicle ₹XXX ₹XXX
Note: Rates may vary depending on the specific toll plaza. Please check the latest rates for the toll plazas on your route before traveling.
This hike in toll charges is part of the process to generate necessary revenue for road maintenance, operations, and national highway projects. Toll rates are reviewed annually, taking inflation and operational costs into account.
The Delhi-Jaipur Highway is one of the country’s busiest national highways. It connects major cities such as Delhi, Gurugram, Manesar, Neemrana, Behror, Kotputli, and Jaipur. Since thousands of private and commercial vehicles traverse this route daily, even a marginal increase in toll charges affects a large number of travelers.
Regular users of the highway state that the rising toll rates will increase the overall cost of travel. Meanwhile, those involved in the transport business believe this could also impact freight transportation costs.
If you are planning a trip from Delhi to Jaipur or Jaipur to Delhi, please factor in the toll expenses in advance. Motorists using FASTag are required to pay the toll in accordance with the prescribed rules.
