Sources at the state transport department stated that, as per the proposed rates, three-wheelers will attract a fee of ₹20, four-wheelers ₹40, and medium and heavy vehicles ₹60 and ₹80, respectively.

Notably, two-wheelers, electric vehicles, CNG vehicles, ambulances, and other essential service vehicles will be exempt from this charge.
