The government\u2019s decision to declare various roads toll-free from 2025 is a welcome move that promises relief for daily commuters and transporters alike. This initiative is expected to reduce the economic burden on travellers and encourage economic activities across regions. As per a recent briefing from the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, portions of over 120 national and state highways will be toll-free, aiming to reduce long queues at toll plazas, ensure smoother traffic flow, and cut travel costs for both passengers and goods carriers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Toll-Free Highway Expansion in 2025 to Boost Connectivity and Cut Travel Costs<\/strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Major changes include toll exemption in the Delhi-NCR region, covering expressways<\/a> such as Gurugram-Sohna and parts of the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. In Maharashtra, certain routes connecting Mumbai, Navi Mumbai, and Thane will be toll-free. In southern states like Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Kerala, several highways leading to Tier 2 and Tier 3 cities are also included. Northern states such as Punjab, Haryana, and Uttar Pradesh will see toll exemptions on internal networks to improve city-to-city transit. Additionally, stretches within the Delhi-Mumbai Industrial Corridor (DMIC) will be toll-free, easing goods transportation along critical industrial routes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This transformation is motivated by several factors: reducing transportation costs for small businesses and logistics companies, saving fuel and travel time, and lowering vehicular emissions. It is also seen as a response to public protests against high toll charges at multiple entry points. Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari emphasized that making transport affordable and efficient is a key objective of the government, and this move is a step toward that vision.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Selective Toll Continuation for Expressways and Premium Highways<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

However, tolls will continue to apply on expressways and premium highways where high infrastructure investment recovery and facility maintenance are required. The full list of toll-free roads is available on the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) website and state transport portals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Summary:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

From 2025, over 120 national and state highways will go toll-free to ease travel, cut costs, and boost economic activity. Key routes across Delhi-NCR, Maharashtra, and southern and northern states are included. However, tolls will remain on premium expressways for infrastructure cost recovery and maintenance.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
