Passenger vehicles (more than 12 seats): ₹180

No Exemptions for Local Transporters
The revised toll charges will also apply to Himachal-registered heavy cargo vehicles, as the government has not provided any exemptions for local transporters. The Tax and Excise Department has confirmed that new rates will also reflect in quarterly and annual passes.
With these changes, transport costs are expected to rise, impacting both travelers and businesses relying on road transport within the state.
