- (d)   Monetization  of  National  Highway  assets  through  TOT/  InvIT  mode deals with only completed and commercially operational assets having a tolling history of at least 1 year.
- (e)  User  fee  at  fee  plazas  on  National  Highways  (NHs)  is  collected uniformly  across  the  country  in  accordance  with  the  provisions  of  the National  Highways  Fee  (Determination  of  Rates  and  Collection)  Rules, 2008 and the respective Concession Agreements. The revenue collected

by  the  Central  Government  from  user  fees  on  NHs  and  from  asset monetisation  is  deposited  into  the  Consolidated  Fund  of  India  (CFI). Funds  provided  through  budgetary  allocations  are  then  utilized  for  the maintenance, development, and expansion of National Highways across the country, based on overall priorities and project requirements.

Further,  State  Governments  benefit  from  the  overall  infrastructure development resulting from the construction and improvement of National Highways. Such development contributes to multiple advantages,  including  the  expansion  of  towns  and  cities  and  broader economic growth within the State.
