The Madhya Pradesh government plans to incorporate twelve additional highways into its toll system, aiming to generate ₹3,000 crore per year over the next decade‑plus, according to the state PWD.
The state government of Madhya Pradesh announced its intention to expand the existing toll collection framework by bringing twelve more road stretches under the system. This move is part of a broader revenue‑generation strategy outlined by the Public Works Department (PWD). The department projects that the expanded toll network could raise approximately ₹3,000 crore annually.
Officials said the additional roads have been selected based on traffic density and maintenance costs, ensuring that the tolls will fund further infrastructure upgrades. The PWD expects the revenue stream to stabilize over a ten‑to‑fifteen‑year horizon, supporting both new projects and the upkeep of existing highways.
The proposal will be presented to the state cabinet for approval before any toll rates are finalized. If approved, motorists can expect new toll plazas to become operational within the next fiscal cycle, marking a significant shift in the state's road‑funding model.
