Avoid 25% Surcharge: Ensure Your Vehicle Has an NHA M-Tag by February 2025
The National Highway Authority NHA M-tag has announced that, starting February 1, 2025, all vehicles traveling on Pakistan’s motorways are required to have an M-Tag. Vehicles without an M-Tag or with insufficient balance will incur an additional 25% toll fee, with a minimum extra charge of Rs. 50.
What is NHA M-Tag?
M-Tag is a prepaid Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) system that allows for automatic toll deduction as vehicles pass through toll plazas, eliminating the need for cash transactions. This system not only expedites the toll collection process but also reduces traffic congestion and minimizes environmental pollution caused by idling vehicles.
Benefits of NHA M-Tag
Time Efficiency: Vehicles equipped with M-Tag can pass through toll plazas without stopping, significantly reducing travel time.
Cost Savings:
By avoiding the additional 25% toll surcharge imposed on non-M-Tag vehicles, users can save money on each trip.
Environmental Impact:
Reduced idling at toll booths leads to lower vehicle emissions, contributing to a greener environment.
