The government has dismissed recent media reports suggesting that two-wheelers could soon be brought under the toll tax net. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) addressed the claims, clarifying that no such proposal is under consideration and there are no plans to introduce toll charges for two-wheelers.In an official post on X, NHAI wrote, “Some sections of the media have reported that the Government of India plans to levy user fees on two-wheelers. NHAI would like to clarify that no such proposal is under consideration. There are no plans to introduce toll charges for two-wheelers.”Nitin Gadkari, minister of road transport & highways, also stepped in to dismiss the reports, explaining “no such decision has been proposed.”“The exemption on toll for two-wheeler vehicles will continue fully,” he further added.These clarifications come after several reports claimed that the government will be introducing levy user fees on two-wheelers.At present, two-wheelers continue to be exempted fully from toll charges.These reports come after the government announced a new FASTag Annual Pass, last week. The FASTag Annual Pass is a prepaid toll scheme set to launch on August 15, aimed towards easing travel for private car owners and frequent highway commuters, allows up to 200 toll-free trips or one year of unlimited access on national highways and expressways for a fixed amount of Rs 3,000.Union minister Gadkari had described the scheme as a major step towards making highway travel more affordable and less time-consuming, especially for middle-class families. The plan, which works on existing FASTags, is expected to significantly reduce congestion at toll plazas while promoting seamless digital transactions.
