Previously, the Ministry of Transport approved the proposal of the Vietnam Road Administration to increase toll prices for 41 projects (47 toll stations). Explaining the increase in toll prices for BOT projects, the leader of the Vietnam Road Administration said that BOT projects managed by the Ministry of Transport were put into operation mainly before 2016. According to the provisions of the BOT project contract, a toll price adjustment cycle is 3 years/time (with an increase of 6%/year).

Although the projects and toll stations have reached the period of increasing ticket prices from 2019 to 2022, there are some projects that have reached the second ticket increase cycle but have not yet increased prices, affecting the financial plan and the project's ability to recover capital.
