The Hindu
At Paliyekkara on Mannuthy-Edappally NH
Justifying the extension of the agreement on collecting toll at Paliyekkara on the Mannuthy-Edappally national highway till 2028, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Wednesday informed the Kerala High Court that yearly revision in the rate of user fee had been permitted by the Centre.
In an affidavit, the NHAI said there was no merit in the contention that the concessionaire continued to make periodical revision of the toll despite recovering the total cost incurred towards the project work and having earned reasonable benefits.
The affidavit was filed in response to a writ petition seeking a directive to quash the agreement fixing the tenure for collecting toll collection at Paliyekkara.
