ISLAMABAD – Travel on Motorways to cost more from June 15 as authorities announced revised Toll Tax for vehicles without an M-Tag or with low balance.
National Highway Authority (NHA) announced major increase in motorway toll taxes, which will be effective from June 15, 2025. The new rates will impact all major motorways, with 50pc surcharge for vehicles without M-Tags or those with low balance.
Motorway Revised Toll Tax
| Motorway Route | Toll Tax |
|---|---|
| Islamabad to Lahore (M-2) | Rs 1800 |
| Lahore to Abdul Hakim (M-3) | Rs 1200 |
| Pindi Bhattiyan to Multan (M-4) | Rs 1600 |
The revised toll taxes aimed to encourage use of M-Tag electronic toll collection systems, vehicles without M-Tags or those entering the motorway with low balance will be charged 50% more than standard rate under revised rules.
National Highway Authority said the revision was necessary due to rising operational and maintenance costs of the national motorway infrastructure. Travelers are advised to ensure their M-Tags are active and properly funded before traveling to avoid penalties.
The surge also sparked concerns among daily commuters and transporters, who say higher costs will directly affect travel budgets and transportation fares.
