In a plea, NHAI,operator DGSCL and project financier IDFC had asked the court to order removal of the toll plaza. On the other hand, South Delhi Municipal Corporation had raised concerns over the collection of entry tax from all commercial vehicles entering Delhi.

NHAI along with operator and financier had also agreed to make an alternate facility for SDMC to collect entry tax from commercial vehicles.

Lakhs of commuters will be relieved from hours long traffic snarls which are quite common during the peak hours at Delhi-Gurgaon Expressway.
