MEP Toll Road Pvt Ltd will collect tolls of around Rs.6.23 billion this year from 20 NHAI plazas around the country, MEPL authorities said. It is nearly 44 percent of NHAI’s total toll collection for the year.
“We feel privileged to be selected by NHAI for toll collection in their various projects. Being in the forefront of toll operations management, and specialists in providing end-to-end solutions in toll system, we are committed to strengthening and streamlining traffic management in India - the country with one of the most extensive road networks in the world,” MEPL Chairman and Managing Director Jayant Mhaiskar, Chairman & MD, said.
MEPL has set up toll collection centres in Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Orissa, Gujarat, Uttar Pradesh and Haryana and will operate on 226 lanes across the NHAI network of highways, along with its subsidiary, A.J. Toll Pvt Ltd.
NHAI will now be collecting toll worth Rs.1,440 crore, a rise from Rs.1,100 crore that it collected prior to the awarding of the contract.
After a Mumbai High Court order last year, MEPL had also bagged an NHAI contract for collecting tolls from five of Mumbai entry points.
