The Indian government is bringing huge reforms the way the Highways function. As part of the same, a new Toll Pass will be introduced from Independence Day. Meanwhile, there have been speculations that the two-wheelers might be paying toll charges from next month.
In view of the same, the Union Minister of Road Transport & Highways issued a clarification that no such thing is in discussion.
A section of the media reported today that the toll charges will be levied on two-wheelers, but the government is quick to refute the same.
“Some media houses are spreading misleading news about imposing toll tax on two-wheeler vehicles. No such decision has been proposed. The exemption on toll for two-wheeler vehicles will continue fully. Spreading misleading news without verifying the truth to create a sensation is not a sign of healthy journalism. I condemn this.” wrote Nitin Gadkari on X.
📢 महत्वपूर्ण कुछ मीडिया हाऊसेस द्वारा दो-पहिया (Two wheeler) वाहनों पर टोल टैक्स लगाए जाने की भ्रामक खबरें फैलाई जा रही है। ऐसा कोई निर्णय प्रस्तावित नहीं हैं। दो-पहिया वाहन के टोल पर पूरी तरह से छूट जारी रहेगी। बिना सच्चाई जाने भ्रामक खबरें फैलाकर सनसनी निर्माण करना स्वस्थ…— Nitin Gadkari (@nitin_gadkari) June 26, 2025
The National Highway Authorities of India also tweeted, “Some sections of the media have reported that the Government of India plans to levy user fees on two-wheelers. #NHAI would like to clarify that no such proposal is under consideration. There are no plans to introduce toll charges for two-wheelers.”
