Is Indian Government Going To Levy Toll Tax on 2-Wheelers From July 15? Union Minister Nitin Gadkari Debunks Fake News

Multiple news channels and websites on Thursday, June 26, claimed the government is going to impose toll tax on two-wheelers on national highways. Currently, two-wheelers remain exempt from toll charges on national highways. However, there won't be exemption for two-wheelers from July 15, news reports said. As this claim quickly went viral, Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways issued a clarification, saying toll tax exemption will continue for two-wheelers. "Some media houses are spreading fake news about levying toll tax on two-wheelers. No such proposal has been made. Two-wheelers will continue to be fully exempt from toll tax," Gadkari confirmed.
