HMDA proposed Toll tax on ORR
The Hyderabad Metropolitan Development Authority (HMDA) has prepared toll tax proposals and sent it to the state government for approval. The proposed toll, which will be based on distance travelled and vehicle, will be between Rs 20 and Rs 150 and it will be collected only at exit points or at interchange points.Though the 158-kilometer ORR is yet to be fully operational, toll tax would be collected on the 62-km stretch.
Before sending the toll proposals, the authority studied toll taxes being collected by various agencies on state highways and national highways. The Vehicles are graded into five categories.In the first category, cars, jeeps and vans would be placed and it would attract the lowest toll. Similarly in the second category would be light commercial vehicles like DCMs and mini lorries, buses and trucks in the third category, trucks with 3-5 axles in fourth category and all vehicles with over five axles in the fifth category (high-end tax).
ORR Phase I from Gachibowli to Shamshabad and has thrown it open for traffic and hopes to open the Phase II-A Shamshabad-Pedda Amberpet stretch by December.
If the state government approves the proposed toll tax, motorists traveling on Outer Ring Road (ORR) will have to cough up toll tax from December.
