Exam-focused facts from the 14 February 2026 current affairs briefing.

Key facts

Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) amended the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008 with effect from 15 February 2026.
On partially operational National Expressways, toll will now be levied only on the completed stretch at the lower rate applicable to regular National Highways instead of the 25 per cent higher Expressway rate.
The amendment will remain valid for up to one year from its enforcement date or until the Expressway becomes fully operational, whichever is earlier.
