Delhi NCR Toll Hikes Increase Travel Costs April

 From April 1, 2026, travel on major highways around Delhi NCR has become more expensive. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has increased toll rates on the Delhi–Gurgaon Expressway, Dwarka Expressway, and Sohna Highway. The hike affects daily commuters, transporters, and businesses, as travel costs on these busy routes rise significantly.

Reason Behind the Toll Hike

The toll revision is linked to an annual system based on the Wholesale Price Index (WPI). Authorities adjust toll rates every year in line with inflation. This year, the change has impacted several key highways across India, including the busiest corridors connecting Delhi and Gurgaon, affecting thousands of daily travellers.

Impact on Daily Commuters
