NHAI app to show routes with lowest toll between two destinations
NHAI's Rajmargyatra app will have a new feature from next month to inform motorists about the route attracting least amount of toll between two destinations, a senior government official has said. Rajmargyatra provides travellers with comprehensive information about national highways and also offers them an efficient grievance redressal mechanism. Citing an example, Amrit Singha, Chief Product officer, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) of Indian Highways Management Company (IHMCL) said there are three routes to travel to Lucknow from Delhi and the app will help commuter choose the best one. "You can travel to Lucknow from Delhi via Yamuna Expressway, or travel by crossing Ghaziabad-Aligarh-Kanpur-Lucknow or app will inform motorists about the route which will attract least amount of toll between Delhi and Lucknow," Singha said. He rued that two and three-wheeler riders are illegally entering the access-controlled Delhi-Gudgaon and Dwarka Expressway, citing the data compiled by NHAI's Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS). As per the ATMS sample data, between June 21 and June 23, 1.73 lakh violations were recorded and more than one lakh of these were related to banned vehicles. Singha said NHAI is likely to open a 67-km-long spur connecting Bandikui to Jaipur via the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, which will reduce travel time. NHAI Rajasthan regional officer Pradeep Atri said this new four-lane access-controlled Bandikui-Jaipur stretch, built at a cost of Rs 1,368 crore, is expected to open for traffic trials by mid-July. According to Pushpendra Singh, NHAI Manager, this road was constructed in about 2.5 years, and is expected to shift a major chunk of traffic from the old Delhi-Jaipur highway. Currently, it takes around 4 hours to drive from Delhi to Jaipur -- 2.5 hours to reach Bandikui via the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and another 1.5 hours to cover the last 67 km. With the new spur, this journey could be completed in about 3 hours.

Good news commuters! NHAI's Rajmargyatra app gets new feature, to help travelers find highway route that have..., check details
Good news commuters! NHAI's Rajmargyatra app gets new feature, to help travelers find highway route that is..., check details Starting next month, the Rajmargyatra app, developed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), will get a new feature that will help travelers find the route with the least toll charges between two cities. The Rajmargyatra app already gives useful information about national highways, including maps, road conditions, and ways to file complaints if there are issues on the road. Amrit Singha, Chief Product Officer at the Indian Highways Management Company (IHMCL), shared an example: If you're going from Delhi to Lucknow, there are three possible routes: Via Yamuna Expressway Via Ghaziabad–Aligarh–Kanpur Via Moradabad–Bareilly–Sitapur The app will compare toll costs for each route and tell you which one is the cheapest. Illegal Entry Worries However, NHAI officials are also worried about two- and three-wheeler riders using roads they are not allowed on, like the Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway and the Dwarka Expressway. Between June 21 and 23, NHAI's Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) recorded over 1.73 lakh traffic violations and more than 1 lakh of these were because banned vehicles were using restricted roads. New Road to Jaipur Almost Ready There's also good news for people traveling between Delhi and Jaipur. NHAI is getting ready to open a new 67-km road from Bandikui to Jaipur, which connects to the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway. This new four-lane road has been built at a cost of Rs. 1,368 crore and should be open for trial runs by mid-July, according to Pradeep Atri, NHAI's regional officer in Rajasthan. What Will Change? Right now, it takes around 4 hours to go from Delhi to Jaipur: 2.5 hours from Delhi to Bandikui 1.5 hours from Bandikui to Jaipur (on older roads) With the new road, the Bandikui–Jaipur stretch will be faster, and the full journey could take just 3 hours. This is expected to reduce traffic on the old Delhi-Jaipur highway and make travel smoother and quicker. (With PTI inputs)
