NHAI Raises Toll Charges on Bengaluru-Mysuru and Jaipur-Delhi Highways
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has increased toll charges on multiple highways, including the Bengaluru-Mysuru and Jaipur-Delhi routes. The Bengaluru-Mysuru highway tolls rose for various vehicle categories, with rates effective from July 21, 2026. Similarly, tolls on the Jaipur-Delhi Highway and nearby routes were raised, affecting private and commercial vehicles differently. Some local passes remain unchanged, and certain plazas have exempted private vehicles from hikes to ease commuter impact. These revisions aim to cover operational costs for the 2026-27 financial year.
