Mumbai: Maharashtra Chief Minister Eknath Shinde on Monday announced a full toll waiver for light motor vehicles at all five toll booths entering Mumbai. The rule will be implemented from tonight.
The decision was taken during the last cabinet meeting of the Maharashtra government before the Assembly elections.
With the latest announcement, commuters will be able to use small vehicles without paying tolls from all five toll booths, namely Dahisar, Mulund, Vashi, Airoli, and Tinhanth Naka. The toll charge for the abovementioned booths was Rs 45.
The decision, taken during the Maharashtra government’s final cabinet meeting before the upcoming Assembly elections, is set to take effect from midnight today.
The move is expected to benefit daily commuters entering the city in smaller vehicles as they will now be exempted from paying tolls at these key entry points.
The toll booths at these locations have long been a significant part of Mumbai’s road infrastructure, serving thousands of vehicles daily.
