Toll fee on Chennai-Tada highway to drop by 14-15%

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has proposed transferring a 10-km stretch of the Chennai-Kolkata NH 16 from Madhavaram Junction to Padiyanallur to the state highways, making it a toll-free section.

Once approved by the Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), the total tolled road length of the highway will come down from 54.5km to 44.5km.

This change will cut the ₹80 toll fee for cars and jeeps by ₹15, bringing it down to ₹65.

Fee for light motor vehicles (LMVs) and minibuses will be reduced by ₹20, bringing it down from ₹125 to ₹105.

Similarly, trucks and buses will see a ₹45 reduction, bringing the toll fee from ₹265 down to ₹220.
