The departments have not yet agreed on the freezing of the Platon tariff for 2023

Government departments have not yet been able to agree on a tariff freeze for the Platon heavy-duty vehicle toll system for 2023, which carriers and business associations have requested. In particular, the Ministry of Transport opposed such a moratorium, two sources familiar with the discussion of this initiative in the departments told Vedomosti. According to them, the Ministry of Transport estimated the volume of shortfall in budget revenues in the event of the implementation of the initiative at 7 billion rubles. A spokesman for the Ministry of Transport declined to comment.

On July 12, business associations representing the largest manufacturing, trading and transport companies sent a letter to First Deputy Prime Minister Andrei Belousov with a request to instruct a moratorium on the indexation of the Platon tariff for next year (Vedomosti wrote about this on July 13) .
