UER-II Toll Plaza: The Delhi High Court has rejected a plea against the toll plaza set up on Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) near Mundka. The court observed that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) already offers a discounted monthly pass for individuals living within a 20-kilometer radius.

The plea was submitted by Randheer Singh, who contended that the toll plaza located at Mundka-Bakkarwala, near the Mundka Industrial Metro Station, levied an unreasonably high toll of Rs 235 per trip. He claimed this placed an unfair burden on him, as he frequently traveled to his home in Najafgarh.

Appearing for NHAI, counsel placed reliance on a Gazette Notification dated August 20, 2025, which fixes the monthly pass for non-commercial vehicles owned by residents within a 20 km radius at Rs 350 for the year 2025-26, subject to annual revision.

Justice Sachin Datta observed that in view of this provision, the petitioner could avail the monthly pass and thereby cross the toll plaza without restriction on the number of trips. The Court declined to issue directions for the removal of the toll plaza as sought by the petitioner.

"The dispensation of a monthly pass has been created in terms of Rule 9(3) of the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008," the Court noted while dismissing the plea.
