NEW DELHI: The road transport ministry is likely to roll out a new policy this week that will allow tourist passenger vehicles to pay a one-time annual fee for seamless travel across the country on the lines of the national permit fee paid by trucks. The fare would also reduce because of the unifor m per mit fee.
The All India Tourist Vehicles Authorisation and Permit Rules may be announced on Tuesday, sources said. “No state has objected to the policy after we published the draft notification. The policy will be out soon and it will provide more options to people for comfortable travel rather than using their private vehicles for inter-city journeys,” said a ministry official.
