Toll tax would not be levied at collection points that are located within 60 km of one another, said Nitin Gadkari, the Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, while replying to a discussion in the Parliament on March 22.
The relaxation will come into effect after a period of three months, Gadkari clarified.
"Toll collection points that fall within 60 km of another toll booth will be closed in the next 3 months," Gadkari said in Lok Sabha, the Parliament's lower chamber while responding to the Opposition's concerns related to the budgetary allocation for road transport and highways.
