Vehicle Categories & Toll Rates
NHAI classifies vehicles into categories based on size and axles. Toll rates are revised annually every April. Cars typically pay the base rate; trucks pay 2–10x depending on axle count.
| Category | Description | Examples |
|---|---|---|
| Car/Jeep/Van | 4-wheel light motor vehicles | Maruti Swift, Hyundai Creta, Toyota Innova |
| LCV | Light Commercial Vehicle (GVW ≤ 7.5t) | Tata Ace, Mahindra Bolero Pickup |
| Bus/Truck (2-axle) | 2-axle commercial vehicles | Mini buses, medium trucks |
| 3-Axle Vehicle | 3-axle trucks and tankers | Tank trucks, rigid lorries |
| 4-to-6 Axle | Heavy multi-axle vehicles | Articulated trucks, heavy machinery |
| Oversized | 7+ axle vehicles / oversized loads | Mining dumpers, special transport |
Note: Monthly pass (Monthly Pass Scheme) available for frequent users on specific stretches — up to 25 trips at 50% of the single-trip rate.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is FASTag mandatory in India?
Yes. Since February 2021, FASTag is mandatory for all 4-wheelers in India. Vehicles without FASTag entering a FASTag-designated lane are charged double the toll amount. Only one cash/hybrid lane is available per toll plaza direction for non-FASTag vehicles.
Do toll rates differ by state?
Yes. National Highway tolls are set by NHAI but state highways have their own rates set by State Road Development Corporations (e.g., MSRDC, UPEIDA, TNRDC). Rates also vary by project — BOT projects often charge more than HAM/annuity projects where toll collection goes to the government.
Are there exemptions from paying toll?
Yes. Vehicles exempt from toll include: President/VP/PM convoys, defense vehicles on duty, ambulances, fire trucks, police vehicles, and in some cases, residents within 20 km of a toll plaza (with proof of local residence). Some states also exempt state government vehicles.
What is the GPS-based toll system being rolled out?
The Indian government is gradually introducing GNSS (Global Navigation Satellite System) based tolling, where charges are deducted based on actual distance travelled — similar to Portugal's free-flow system. This will replace physical toll plazas on major corridors and is expected to be fully implemented by 2027.
Can tourists and foreign visitors pay tolls easily?
Yes. Foreign visitors can pay cash (Indian Rupees) at toll plazas. International credit/debit cards (Visa, Mastercard) are accepted at most major plazas. For rental cars, ask your rental company if the vehicle has a FASTag — most modern rental fleets in India are FASTag-equipped.
