Petition seeks end to Electronics City flyover toll after concession period ends

An online petition has urged the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to stop toll collection on Bengaluru’s Electronics City Flyover following the end of its concession period.

The nearly 10-km Electronics City Flyover, located along Hosur Road between Bommanahalli near the Central Silk Board and Electronics City, was initiated in 2006 and inaugurated on January 22, 2010. It was constructed by Bengaluru Elevated Tollway Limited (BETL) at an estimated cost of around ₹1,000 crore under a Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) model.

According to the petition on Change.org, the 20-year concession period began in 2006 and ended on September 10, 2026. During this period, BETL was authorised to collect toll to recover the costs of building, operating and maintaining the infrastructure, along with a reasonable return on its investment.
