Toll collection may hit ₹1 tn next fiscal
Mint Mumbai
|January 20, 2026
India’s national highway toll collections are projected to top the landmark ₹1 trillion mark in FY27, a surge fuelled by an aggressive expansion of high-speed corridors and a fundamental shift in how the country charges for road use.
Internal government projections seen by Mint suggest a 25% jump in revenue to ₹75,000 crore in FY26, up from ₹61,408 crore in FY25. This trajectory is underpinned by a resilient 7.4% GDP growth forecast and a 15% year-on-year rise in traffic volume recorded through December.
Beyond organic traffic growth, the government is banking on a technological overhaul. The ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) plans to roll out a satellite-based Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system nationwide by late 2026, which is expected to plug leakages and add at least ₹6,000 crore to the annual collections.
