Delhi Toll Roads Complete Guide
System: FASTag electronic toll collection + Cash payment
Coverage: Major expressways connecting Delhi NCR to neighboring states
Currency: Indian Rupee (INR)
Technology: FASTag RFID transponders, GPS-based system (launching 2025)
Operators: NHAI, Delhi Government, Private Concessionaires
Do I Need FASTag for Delhi? 2025 Update
Yes, FASTag is mandatory for all vehicles on Delhi's national highways - but you can still pay cash at most toll plazas. Starting May 1, 2025, India is set to witness a historic transformation with NHAI replacing the widely-used FASTag system with an advanced GPS-based toll collection technology.
Key Reality: Without FASTag, you'll pay double the toll fees on national highways. For regular Delhi commuters, this can add ₹200-500 monthly in unnecessary penalties.
2025 Update: Kherki Daula toll plaza rates effective from April 1, 2025, with next revision due March 31, 2026. The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is partially operational with full completion expected by October 2025.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid Delhi tolls completely?
Partially - you can use surface roads and state highways, but this adds 1-3 hours to most journeys. For Delhi NCR travel, DND Flyway is toll-free, and Ring Roads within Delhi don't charge tolls.
What happens if I don't pay Delhi tolls?
On national highways, you'll pay double the FASTag rate immediately. For other violations, penalties include ₹100-500 fines, and repeated offenses can lead to traffic police action and vehicle impoundment.
Do motorcycles pay tolls in Delhi?
Yes, motorcycles pay tolls on expressways. Two-wheelers typically pay ₹30-40 at Kherki Daula and proportional rates on other facilities. FASTag is recommended for motorcycles to avoid double charges.
Is the DND Flyway really toll-free?
Yes, DND Flyway has been toll-free since October 2016 when Allahabad High Court ordered no toll collection, upheld by Supreme Court in July 2018. It remains the primary free expressway connection between Delhi and Noida.
When will the new GPS toll system start?
The GPS-based toll system is launching May 1, 2025, starting with major national highways. This will eventually replace FASTag with distance-based charging using satellite navigation.
