Maharashtra Extends 50% Toll Concession on Atal Setu Through 2025

The decision aims to boost traffic on India's longest sea bridge and aligns with upcoming local body polls in the Mumbai region.

The Maharashtra government has decided to maintain the reduced toll of ₹250 on the Atal Setu bridge until December 31, 2025.
The toll concession, initially implemented to encourage usage, follows lower-than-expected traffic volumes on the 22-km sea bridge connecting Mumbai and Navi Mumbai.
The bridge, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in January 2024, saw an average daily traffic of 22,689 vehicles, well below the projected 56,000 vehicles per day.
Officials attribute the reduced traffic to alternative routes and toll waivers at other entry points into Mumbai, which have diverted vehicles away from the Atal Setu.
Future projects, including the completion of Navi Mumbai International Airport and additional connectors, are expected to increase traffic on the bridge.
