Annual pass takes a toll, transactions dip 5.2% in H1

·Economic Times·Impact 3/5 · Notable

Transactions at toll booths in India have decreased by 5.2% in the first half of the year, with 2.13 billion vehicles passing through tolls from April to September. This decline is a significant drop from the same period last year, when 2.25 billion vehicles used toll booths. Despite the lower number of transactions, toll revenue has still managed to rise, up 6.27% to Rs 42,971.82 crore, but at a slower pace than in previous years. This slower growth in revenue may be a concern for the economy.
