Overview

• An Urban Development Department order issued Thursday exempts electric four‑wheelers and electric buses from tolls on Atal Setu’s Shivaji Nagar and Gavan plazas.
• The move operationalizes a May 23, 2025 policy decision for the sea link while partially modifying a January 31 toll notification for all vehicle categories.
• MSRDC says wider waivers for the Mumbai–Pune Expressway and the Samruddhi corridor require a separate government notification before contractors can stop collections.
• A May 2025 Government Resolution promises five years of toll relief for eligible EVs, reimbursement of waived revenue to the PWD, and expanded charging infrastructure.
• Policy eligibility covers private electric cars, passenger four‑wheelers, state transport buses, and urban public transport EVs, excludes electric goods carriers, and offers a 50% discount on many PWD‑managed highways for electric four‑wheelers.
