The reduction, based on an order of the Madras High Court, will be on till December 21. The rates have been rounded to the nearest ₹5 at the Sriperumbudur and Chennasalem plazas.
This follows continuous complaints about the poor condition of the roads by motorists using the ever-busy highway. For car/van/ jeep/light motor vehicle, the one-way rate shall be ₹25 each at both the plazas that cover a distance of around 100 km of the road.
The NHAI has been taking up a series of improvement works on the road, including at junctions such as Vanagaram, Velappanchavady and Parivakkam that had been damaged by movement of heavy vehicles like water tankers.
