Overview
- Suraksha Group asked for a 3.5% rise in Yamuna Expressway tolls, citing a concession agreement that allows annual revisions.
- YEIDA confirmed it received the filing and said the state has not approved any change yet.
- Jewar BJP MLA Dhirendra Singh urged a rethink of the hike, pointing to inflation, volatile fuel costs tied to West Asia tensions, and the burden on commuters and small businesses.
- The operator and officials point to more than 50,000 vehicles a day and new links to other expressways plus the upcoming Noida airport as reasons to bolster revenue.
- For a Greater Noida–Agra trip, current one-way tolls run from about ₹247.50 for two-wheelers to ₹3,027.75 for oversized carriers, which means a small percentage increase could meaningfully raise regular travel costs.
