The National Highways Authority of India has increased toll charges on major routes around Jaipur, including the Jaipur-Delhi Highway, Jaipur-Sikar Bypass and Jaipur Ring Road, with the new rates taking effect from Tuesday midnight.
Travel Around Jaipur Becomes Costlier After Toll Hike
Commuters travelling on major highways around Jaipur will now have to pay higher toll charges after the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) revised tariffs at several key toll plazas.
The new rates came into effect from midnight on Tuesday and apply to important routes, including the Jaipur-Delhi Highway, the Jaipur-Sikar Bypass and the Jaipur Ring Road. Depending on the category of vehicle, toll charges have increased by ₹5 to ₹30.
The revised rates are expected to impact both daily commuters and commercial transport operators who regularly use these highways.
Toll Charges Increased at Manoharpur Plaza
The Manoharpur toll plaza, located on the Jaipur-Delhi Highway, has witnessed an increase in toll rates across multiple vehicle categories.
For private vehicles such as cars, jeeps and vans, the toll has been raised by ₹5. Charges for mini-trucks, buses and heavy commercial vehicles have also been revised upward under the new tariff structure.
The hike forms part of the annual revision of toll rates implemented by the NHAI on several national highways across the country.
Shahjahanpur Toll Sees Steeper Increase
Motorists passing through the Shahjahanpur toll plaza will face a larger increase in charges.
The toll fee for cars, jeeps and vans has been raised from ₹195 to ₹215, resulting in an additional cost of ₹20 per trip for private vehicle owners.
Commercial transport operators using the route will also be required to pay higher toll charges under the revised schedule.
Impact on Commuters and Transporters
The increase in toll rates is expected to raise travel expenses for people commuting frequently between Jaipur and Delhi, as well as for transport companies operating along the corridor.
Commercial vehicles, buses and freight operators are likely to experience higher operating costs, which may affect transportation and logistics expenses.
The Jaipur-Delhi Highway remains one of the busiest road corridors in northern India, connecting Rajasthan with the National Capital Region.
