Overview

  • Electric four-wheelers are now exempt from tolls on the Atal Setu, with the change taking effect on Friday under the state’s EV policy.
  • The May 2025 Government Resolution promised a five-year toll waiver for electric cars and buses on key routes and laid out a reimbursement mechanism for foregone tolls.
  • MSRDC previously said motorists were still being charged on the MumbaiPune and Samruddhi expressways because a formal notification had not yet been issued.
  • The corporation said a proposal for those corridors is in final approval stages and that instructions to toll contractors will be issued after the notification is released.
  • Policy details reported by officials include a 50% discount for electric four-wheelers on PWD-managed highways and no waiver for electric goods carriers.
