The National Highway Authority (NHA) has announced that starting February 1, 2025, vehicles without an M-Tag or those with insufficient balance will face a 25% higher toll on motorways when paying in cash.

According to an official notification from the NHA Directorate of Revenue (Finance Wing), this policy aims to implement a 100% M-Tag system on all motorways. The additional toll charge will be added to the regular toll rates, with a minimum extra fee of Rs. 50.

To ensure smooth implementation, the NHA has directed its departments to circulate the notification widely and upload it to its official website. Motorists are encouraged to equip their vehicles with M-Tags to avoid paying higher tolls.

Last year, the Punjab government introduced stricter rules for obtaining an M-Tag, making it a requirement for motorway travel.
