ISLAMABAD: The National Highways and Motorways Police (NHMP) has increased the toll rates for vehicles plying without the mandatory M-tag, effective from February 1 (today).
Commuters have been urged to get M-tags free of cost by January 31 to avoid additional charges.
Authorities have warned that from Saturday, vehicles without tags or with insufficient balance will be charged a 25 per cent surcharge on the standard toll fee, with a minimum charge of Rs 50.
“In exercise of the powers conferred under section 10(2) vii of the NHA Act, 1991 as amended in 2001, the National Highways Authority of India hereby notifies for the information of the general public that in order to implement 100% M-Tag Regime on all motorways in the country, vehicles with M-Tag or low balance/cash vehicles shall pay an additional toll of 25% over and above the original toll rate with a minimum capping of Rs. 50 with effect from February 1, 2025,” said a notification issued by the NHA Directorate of Revenue (Finance Wing).
