No Tolled Highway with Full Capital Cost Recovery, Says Nitin Gadkari

The statement from Nitin Gadkari emphasises the government's commitment to providing a fair and sustainable model for toll collection on highways. By not seeking full capital cost recovery through tolls, the government aims to ease the financial burden on road users while simultaneously addressing the imperative of funding vital infrastructure projects.

This strategic decision aligns with the larger vision of promoting accessible and efficient road transportation across India. It reflects an understanding of the economic considerations and the need to balance the interests of both users and infrastructure development, reinforcing the government's commitment to responsible and equitable tolling practices.

As India continues to invest in expanding and upgrading its highway network, the announcement by Nitin Gadkari signals a pragmatic and people-centric approach, ensuring that tolled highways contribute to the nation's development without placing undue financial strain on road users.
