Almost three months after the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) increased the toll rates at Bastara toll plaza on NH-44 in Karnal, the authority revised the fees again on Wednesday by ₹10 for light motor vehicles (LMV).
Earlier the rates were raised by ₹5 for the same category of vehicles on April 1.
According to the NHAI, car, jeep, van and other LMV users will now pay ₹200 for a single journey instead of ₹190, while the charge for return journeys within a day has been increased from ₹290 to ₹295.
According to the notification, the toll for mini buses, light commercial vehicles or light goods vehicles has increased from ₹310 to ₹320 for a single journey and from ₹465 to ₹480 for return journey.
Karnal residents with vehicles registered within a 20-km radius of the toll plaza will have to pay ₹360 for monthly pass, while earlier it was at ₹350.
The Bastara toll plaza is the first in Haryana to have a barrier-free toll collection system which is done electronically through FASTag and vehicle registration number (VRN) by high-performance radio-frequency identification (RFID) readers and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras.
