New Toll Policy Draft 2025 – NHAI: Here comes a good news for frequent and daily travellers travelling by roads in India. Highway travel will soon become more seamless and cost-effective as the government is preparing to introduce a barrier-free tolling system under the New Toll Policy Draft 2025. There will be monthly and life time passes available soon which will make travel all the more convenient.
According to sources familiar with the policy, the current system only offers monthly passes—primarily benefiting local commuters at specific toll plazas. However, under the proposed draft, commuters may soon have access to annual and lifetime toll passes for private vehicles, allowing unlimited travel on national highways.
A major highlight of the proposal is the introduction of an annual pass priced at ₹3,000, which would offer significant savings for frequent travelers. The policy also aims to rationalize per-kilometer toll charges, ensuring a more transparent and consistent tolling structure nationwide.
Earlier, Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari, had hinted at this transformative shift, emphasizing the need for long-term toll solutions and advanced technology to reduce congestion and enhance the commuter experience.
If implemented, this new toll policy could mark a significant milestone in India’s road infrastructure strategy, offering both convenience and affordability to millions of private vehicle owners across the country
