Projected increase in toll to pinch motorists on NH 66
According to the National Highways Authority of India, the cost of traveling one way along the coastal NH 66 from Kasaragod to Thiruvananthapuram may reach roughly ₹3,000 once every planned toll plaza is active. NHAI officials said the pricing reflects the full operationalization of the toll network. The projected increase is expected to affect drivers using the route, raising concerns about affordability for regular commuters.
