ISLAMABAD: After the approval of the Federal Budget 2024-25 from the National Assembly, the National Highway Authority (NHA) has announced an increase in toll tax for different categories of vehicles on National highways and motorways, effective from July 1, 2024.

According to the NDA, the new tax will be applicable on national highways including M-1 (Islamabad-Peshawar Motorway), M-3 (Lahore-Abdul Hakeem Motorway), M-4 ( Faisalabad-Multan Motorway), and M-5 (Sukkur Multan Motorway) with M-15 (Hazara Motorway), and the Havelian-Mansehra Expressway.

Rejecting the hike in toll tax, the Transporters have termed this revision as unacceptable and cruel. In a statement, the Supreme Council of All Pakistan Transporters said that they are already struggling to cope with the high costs of diesel, spare parts, and tires, and the additional burden of increased toll tax will cause them immense hardship.
