The Election Commission (EC) has asked State-owned NHAI to go ahead with the calculation of new toll rates on highways, which kicks in annually from April 1 across most of the tolled highway stretches in the country, but said the new user fees should be applicable only after the Lok Sabha elections.
Responding to a communication from the Union Road Transport and Highways Ministry in this regard, the poll body has asked the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to defer the toll fee hike.
