Karnataka Toll Roads Complete Guide
System: Electronic toll collection (FASTag RFID) + Cash payment
Coverage: Bengaluru Metro, NICE Road, State Highways, National Highways
Currency: Indian Rupee (INR)
Technology: FASTag transponders, ANPR cameras, GPS tracking (upcoming)
Operators: NHAI, NICE Limited, Karnataka State Highways
Do I Need FASTag for Karnataka? 2025 Update
No, you do not need FASTag to travel on Karnataka toll roads - but you will pay significantly more without one. FASTag is mandatory for all vehicles on National Highways, and without it you pay double the toll rates on NHAI roads.
Key Reality: NICE Road charges Rs 60 for cars on the Link Road section with FASTag, while cash users face longer wait times and potential premium charges. The new Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway will charge up to Rs 150 one-way for cars starting 2025.
2025 Update: Karnataka first expressway (Bengaluru-Chennai) opened in December 2024 with tolling to begin mid-2025. The new GPS-based toll system launches May 1, 2025, potentially replacing FASTag across India.
Karnataka Toll Costs: Current Rates
Karnataka operates toll roads through multiple operators with costs varying by road type, distance, and vehicle category.
Current Toll Rates by Major Road (2025)
Road/Expressway | Cars (Class 1) | Heavy Vehicles | Recent Changes |
---|---|---|---|
NICE Link Road (Full) | Rs 60 | Rs 150+ | Rates stable since July 2023 |
NICE Ring Road Sections | Rs 25-55 | Rs 75-165 | 10-20% increase July 2023 |
Electronics City Flyover | Rs 65 (single) | Varies by axles | 15-20% increase July 2025 |
Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway | Rs 55-150 | Rs 165-520 | NEW: Tolling starts mid-2025 |
Bengaluru-Mysore Expressway | Distance-based | NHAI standard rates | Operational since March 2023 |
Tumkur-Nelamangala (NH-4) | Rs 50-85 | Rs 125-285 | July 2024 rate revision |
How to Pay Karnataka Tolls
You can use the following toll payment methods to pay tolls in Karnataka:
1. FASTag Electronic System:
- Works on all NHAI toll plazas statewide
- Required on National Highways (double charges without FASTag)
- Accepted on NICE Road with standard rates
- Annual FASTag pass (Rs 3,000 for 200 trips) launching August 15, 2025
To calculate toll costs for cars, trucks, motorcycles and all vehicle types across Karnataka toll roads, use TollGuru Karnataka toll calculator
Karnataka vs. Neighboring States
State | System Type | Typical Cost | Coverage |
---|---|---|---|
Karnataka | FASTag + Cash | Rs 25-150/trip | Metro + highways |
Tamil Nadu | FASTag + Cash | Rs 30-200/trip | Extensive highway network |
Telangana | FASTag + Cash | Rs 40-180/trip | Major corridors |
Andhra Pradesh | FASTag + Cash | Rs 35-160/trip | Highway network |
Kerala | Limited tolling | Rs 20-80/trip | Select highways only |
