+ | |||
+ | <p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Yes, FASTag is now mandatory for all vehicles at Maharashtra toll plazas from April 1, 2025. Driving without FASTag will result in double toll charges regardless of payment method (cash, card, or UPI).</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">Key Reality:</strong> The Maharashtra cabinet under Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis made FASTag mandatory to achieve complete cashless toll collection and reduce waiting times. Non-compliance attracts penalty charges of 100% of the base toll amount.</p> | ||

+ | <p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;"><strong style="font-weight: bold;">2025 Update:</strong> This rule applies to all MSRDC-operated toll plazas including Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Samruddhi Mahamarg, and other major highways. Only school buses, light motor vehicles, and state transport buses are exempt at select Mumbai entry points.</p> | ||

Maharashtra Toll Roads Complete Guide
System: FASTag Electronic Toll Collection (mandatory from April 2025)
Operator: MSRDC (Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation) + NHAI
Currency: Indian Rupee (INR)
Coverage: Major expressways and national highways across Maharashtra
Technology: FASTag RFID, License plate recognition, Cashless tolling
Do I Need FASTag for Maharashtra? 2025 Update
Yes, FASTag is now mandatory for all vehicles at Maharashtra toll plazas from April 1, 2025. Driving without FASTag will result in double toll charges regardless of payment method (cash, card, or UPI).
Key Reality: The Maharashtra cabinet under Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis made FASTag mandatory to achieve complete cashless toll collection and reduce waiting times. Non-compliance attracts penalty charges of 100% of the base toll amount.
2025 Update: This rule applies to all MSRDC-operated toll plazas including Mumbai-Pune Expressway, Samruddhi Mahamarg, and other major highways. Only school buses, light motor vehicles, and state transport buses are exempt at select Mumbai entry points.
Maharashtra Toll Costs: Current Rates
Maharashtra operates one of India's most extensive toll networks with distance-based pricing on major expressways and flat rates on bridges and urban corridors.

Samruddhi Mahamarg (Mumbai-Nagpur 701 km) | ₹1,445 (full stretch) | ₹2,400+ (full stretch) | 20% increase from April 2025 |

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid Maharashtra tolls completely?
Partially - you can use older state highways and bypass roads, but this adds 2-4 hours to most journeys and isn't practical for Mumbai-Pune or long-distance travel.
What happens if I don't have FASTag?
From April 2025, you'll pay double the toll amount as penalty, regardless of whether you pay by cash, card, or UPI. The only exemptions are for school buses and state transport at select Mumbai plazas.
Do motorcycles pay tolls in Maharashtra?
Generally no - motorcycles are typically exempt from tolls on most Maharashtra highways, though this may vary by specific toll plaza and vehicle classification.
Are there discounts for frequent users?
Yes, monthly passes are available for non-commercial vehicles residing within 20km of toll plazas. FASTag also provides automatic discounts compared to cash payments.
How does the Samruddhi Mahamarg toll calculation work?
It's distance-based pricing - you pay based on the entry and exit points you use. The full 701km journey from Mumbai to Nagpur costs ₹1,445 for cars after the April 2025 rate revision.
