NOIDA’S YAMUNA E-WAY TOLL RISES AGAIN

Motorists using the Yamuna expressway will now have to shell out more money towards toll tax. In the second rate revision in two months, the toll for cars for a one-way trip to Agra from Greater Noida has gone up by Rs 30 from April 1.

The concessionaire of the expressway, Jaypee Infratech, said this was technically not a toll hike but withdrawal of a discount that had been offered to vehicles since 2012 when the speedway was opened.

The new toll rate for cars is Rs 360 while it is Rs 175 (up by Rs 10) for two-wheelers for a one-way trip to Agra from Greater Noida. For buses and trucks, there is no change in the rate, which continues to stand at Rs 1,150.

Tax for mini-buses and other light commercial vehicles (LCVs) has also been hiked by Rs 15 to Rs 565. The rate for multi-axle vehicles is unchanged at Rs 1,765. But, for oversized or multi-axle vehicles, it is Rs 2,250.
