The four road transport corporations (RTCs) have made a toll payment of ₹20.55 crore on an average every month, according to data from the Transport Department.
In a reply given in the Assembly recently by Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy, he said that the government requested the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to grant a concession on the toll payment, but NHAI declined the request.
Mr. Reddy said: “Earlier, the Karnataka State Road Transport Corporation(KSRTC) had requested the NHAI for toll concessions for corporation buses, given its status as a State-run public service company. However, the NHAI responded, stating that no such concession would be granted to KSRTC buses.”
