Round

The rounding off is to the nearest multiple of five at toll plazas, the official said, adding that stretches 
  1. where the fee amounted to Rs 68 or 69 will now be charged Rs 70, 
  2. while on stretches where it is Rs 62, Rs 60 could be charged.
The move, the official said, will significantly reduce long queues on account of tolls.

  1. the cost of delay on highways was USD 6.6 billion per year and 
  2. the cost of additional fuel consumption due to delay was USD 14.7 billion per year on account of several factors like poor road conditions and delays at plazas.
