No Toll Hike on Pune-Mumbai Expressway Until 2030: MSRDC Confirms Stability for Commuters
In a significant announcement, the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has confirmed that there will be no toll hike on the Pune-Mumbai Expressway until April 30, 2030. This decision, which comes as a relief to thousands of daily commuters and transport operators, ensures stable toll rates for the next seven years.
The last toll revision on this crucial expressway took place on April 1, 2023. According to MSRDC’s official statement, the decision to freeze toll rates aligns with a predefined policy established on April 1, 2005, which governs toll increments on the route.
The Pune-Mumbai Expressway, a vital artery connecting two of Maharashtra’s most prominent cities, falls under the jurisdiction of MSRDC, unlike other toll plazas managed by the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI). While NHAI has revised toll rates at various plazas this year, MSRDC’s announcement ensures that commuters on this expressway will not face additional financial burdens.
This move is expected to benefit not only daily commuters but also businesses and transport operators who rely on the expressway for efficient and cost-effective travel. With no toll hikes in sight, the decision underscores MSRDC’s commitment to providing consistent and affordable connectivity between Pune and Mumbai.
As the expressway continues to play a pivotal role in the region’s transportation network, this announcement brings much-needed certainty to those who depend on it for their daily commute or commercial operations.
