The Purvanchal Expressway in Uttar Pradesh, inaugurated by Prime Minister Narendra Modi in November 2021, is not even getting half the traffic as projected prompting the toll collection agency to quit. The toll was being levied on the 342km-long expressway from May 1 and was envisaged to collect Rs. 65 lakh a day, but the agency only collects just about 45% of the target.
