Lahore–Islamabad Motorway Toll Tax Revised – See Latest Rates

ISLAMABAD (RNN TV) — The National Highway Authority (NHA) has announced revised toll tax rates for the Lahore–Islamabad Motorway (M2), effective from August 26, 2025, and valid until August 25, 2026.

This annual increase follows the Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) agreement with the Frontier Works Organization’s subsidiary, Motorway Operations and Rehabilitation Engineering (Private) Limited.

Why the Increase?

As per the concession agreement signed on April 23, 2014, with FWO’s operating company, toll charges are subject to a 10% annual hike starting from the second year of operations. The adjustment is aimed at generating funds for maintenance, rehabilitation, and smooth functioning of the motorway, one of the busiest highways in Pakistan.
