No toll tax for small vehicles in Gujarat

The Gujarat government on Saturday announced that cars and small vehicles across the state will not be required to pay any toll tax for using the highways from August 15.

This was announced by Chief Minister Anandiben Patel at a public function in south Gujarat.
She said that surveys are currently being conducted to ascertain the exact amount the state will have to shell out as compensation to toll road operators due to this decision. The state would bear the entire cost due to exemption for small vehicle owners.

The commercial and heavier vehicles would, however, continue to pay the usual toll tax. A decision with regard to taxis will be taken later.
