The tax will come from vehicles plying on a 5,434 km stretch, Road Transport and Highways Minister Kamal Nath said.
Nath said if truckers were evading toll tax in any particular state, the state government should take immediate measures to check it. "We are holding talks with various stake holders on different issues pertaining to toll tax," he said.
Pointing out the infrastructure deficit especially in the road sector which impacted agriculture, trade and industry, he said there was a need to bridge the gap by taking adequate measures.
