NHA Imposes 25% Toll Hike for Non-M-Tag Vehicles
The National Highway Authority (NHA) has announced a 25% surcharge on motorway tolls for vehicles without an M-Tag or those with insufficient balance paying in cash. This policy takes effect from February 1, 2025.
Mandatory M-Tag for Motorway Travel
As per an official notification from the NHA Directorate of Revenue (Finance Wing), the move aims to ensure a 100% M-Tag system across all national motorways. The additional toll will be applied to the standard rates, with a minimum extra charge of Rs. 50 for non-compliant vehicles.
Implementation and Public Awareness
To facilitate a smooth transition, NHA has directed its departments to widely circulate the notification and publish it on its official website. Motorists are strongly advised to register for an M-Tag to avoid increased toll charges.
Stricter M-Tag Registration Rules Introduced
Last year, the Punjab government implemented stricter regulations for obtaining an M-Tag, making it mandatory for all motorway users. Under the revised requirements, vehicle owners must present a valid fitness certificate, registration book, and driver’s license before acquiring an M-Tag.
