Beginning on Monday, commuters using the Karnataka districts of Bengaluru and Mysuru will be required to pay toll rates. The National Authority of India (NHAI) notified the highway toll fees for cars.
For the initial section of the motorway from Bengaluru to Nidaghatta in the Mandya district, the toll will be collected at the Sheshagirihalli toll plaza. According to the officials, the 143-km trip from Bengaluru to Mysuru may be completed in about 1.5 hours or less, depending on the speed of the vehicle. They also noted that the project’s delay was caused by the land acquisition procedure.
According to the authorities, cars will pay a toll levy of $135 for a single trip and $205 if they are returning the same day. Upon the opening of the second stretch, it may rise to a maximum of 250.
