For cars, hike is from ₹2.34/km to ₹2.44/km; from ₹3.77/km to ₹3.94/km for minibuses; from ₹6.69/km to ₹7/km for buses
DRIVING on the 158 kilometers Outer Ring Road (ORR) is going to be a costly affair from April 1, 2025.
Hyderabad Growth Corridor Limited (HGCL), a wing of HMDA, has given the green signal to the M/s IRB Golconda Expressway Limited to increase the toll charges for vehicles falling in six different categories.
This revised toll is going to pinch the motorist's pockets who use the ORR stretch, an access-controlled expressway managed by HGCL.
The new revised rates will be implemented from 00.00 hours on Tuesday. It is estimated that ORR is utilised by about 1.50-2.00 lakh vehicles daily. All these users have to bear the additional burden of increased toll charges from the start of the new financial year.
Charge for cars, jeeps, vans and light vehicles has been revised from ₹2.34/km to ₹2.44/km. For minibuses and light commercial vehicles (LCVs), the raise is from ₹3.77/km to ₹3.94/km. For Buses, Two Axle Trucks, the charge has been hiked from ₹6.69/km to ₹7/km and other types of vehicles etc.
