Officials said the number of toll points has been revised as many commercial vehicles now use smaller roads to avoid tolls.

According to a proposal awaiting the standing committee’s approval, the new collection agency will operate 156 toll plazas and 246 lanes, divided into six zones — Kapashera (19 plazas), Badarpur (20), Tikri (33), Shahdara (30), KGT (31), and Ghazipur (23).
