The National Highways in India is going to come under the control of the Union Ministry of National Highways.  It must be noted that the Union Ministry of National Highways is responsible for leasing toll booths to private companies through the Highways Authority on a contractual basis and permits them to collect toll amounts.

As of March 2025, there are as many as 1051 toll booths across India and these come under the control of National highways Authority of India. Across Tamil Nadu, there are as many as78 toll booths.

For once every year, the toll fee amount is being increased from 5% to 10% and the toll amount collected by the National Highways Authority is known to us.

It is worthy to note that as per the agreement of the Union National Highways Authority the toll fees are increased in the month of April for the toll booths that were set up by the national Highways in 1992. The toll fees are increased in the month of September for the roads set up in 2008.

Important piece of information is that in 2023-24census the toll fee amount that has been collected at the toll booths is 55844crores. This amount is 12% more than the toll fee amount that has been collected in 2022-23.census.

The new scheme that has been launched by the Union government is that by paying Rs 3000 once a year the motorists would be able to cross the toll gates as many as 200 times without paying toll fees. By this, the Union National Highways Authority would earn lots of revenue. Here, the decision taken by the motorists holds the key.  The authority has sent a circular to all the tollgates about the new project or scheme. It has been mentioned in the circular that the annual toll pass could be obtained only for private cars, jeeps, vans and other vehicles etc.
