January 2000 and continued to collect the same through its own employees upto 01.05.2003. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi decided to out source the Toll Collection work to private company and subsequently the contract of Toll Collection was awarded to a private firm M/s Banas Sands TTC JV for a period of one year at a contract amount of Rs. 70.20 crores and it was again allotted by competitive bids to the same company for a period of three year w.e.f. 01.05.2004 to 01.05.2007 at the contract price of Rs. 243.57 crores (Rs. 81.19 Crores per annum). The Toll Tax Contract was further extended and continued with M/s Banas Sands TTC JV upto 16.05.2008. The Toll Tax Contract was then awarded to new Company M/s P.K. Hospitality Services Pvt. Ltd. (Now M/s PKSS Infrastructure Pvt. Ltd.) for the period of three years w.e.f. 16.05.2008 to 16.05.2011 through competitive bid by floating tender. At present this company is collecting Toll Tax from specified commercial vehicles entering Delhi from various Delhi Border Points at the contractual amount of Rs. 563,49,78,660/-. (for three years).

It is relevant to mention that earlier there were 86 entry points and now the number of Delhi entry points has risen to 122, out of which 2 entry points i.e. DND Noida and NH-8 at Rajoukari Border has been integrated with the BOT operator with the condition that in addition to collecting their own toll they will collect MCD Toll Tax and service charge shall be paid to them by the MCD’s Contractor for toll collection work without any financial liabilities to MCD.

The Toll Tax Bye-Laws-2007 (copy attached) were notified by Delhi Gazette Notification No. F.33/22/99/UD/18312 dated 31.10.2007 and are fully complied with. The Toll Tax rates levied from Specified Commercial Vehicles are transparent and well published (copy attached). The Toll Tax rates at every Delhi Border Points. To prevent the entry of Non-destined Delhi vehicles in compliance of Hon’ble Supreme Court of India orders dated 06.12.2001 & dated 17.12.2004 and EPCA Committee (headed by Sh. Bhure Lal), the MCD’s Contractor has been strictly directed to implement the same and ensure no such vehicle would enter into Delhi.

Development Work

During the contractual period of M/s Banas Sands TTC-JV for smooth flow of traffic eight major toll plazas were developed into computerized Toll Plazas by MCD through its Toll Tax Contractor namely Tikri Border, KGT-Singhu Border, Kapashera Border, Aya Nagar Border, Badarpur Border, Apsara-Shahdara Border, New Mandouli Border and Gazipur Border. Now as per new contract provisions, the present toll contractor has to further develop eight new important toll posts into computerized Toll Plazas viz. Noida Major Border, Vasundhra Enclave-I Border, Mohan Nagar-I Border, Pul Prahladpur Border, Dhansa Border, Mandi More Border, Jharoda Border and Kalindi Kunj Border. Apart from development of Toll Plazas the MCD contractor is supposed to upgrade/re-develop already existing eight Toll Plazas and modify 40 Temporary manual Toll Posts/Barriers as permanent Toll Posts. The other two major borders i.e. DND Flyway and Rajoukari Border NH-8 are already computerized and collecting Toll Tax of MCD on service charges basis.

Conclusion:-

The main objective of MCD is to provide congestion free traffic and maintain smooth flow of traffic at Delhi Border Points. The revenue generated from Toll Tax Collection strengthens MCD financially and allows to take development works for the welfare of public. The development of modernised computer Toll Plazas provides aesthetic view, smooth flow of traffic and creates good impression among the visitors coming to Delhi.
