+ | |||
+ | <p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Currently, you don't need FASTag for Nagaland as the state operates a toll-free highway network. However, this is expected to change with the completion of major infrastructure projects, particularly the four-lane Dimapur-Kohima Highway, which is designated as a tolled facility.</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> Nagaland is currently one of the few Indian states without operational toll plazas. The Dimapur-Kohima Highway (NH-29) is planned as a toll road but construction delays have postponed toll implementation. When operational, it will reduce travel time from 2.5 hours to 1 hour.</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> ₹7,712 crore worth of highway projects ongoing across 468.71 km. Major infrastructure development under NHIDCL with completion targets extended to 2025-2026. Future toll infrastructure planned for completed four-lane highways.</p> | ||
+ | |||

However, future toll infrastructure is planned for major highways upon completion of ongoing four-lane construction projects.</p> | ||

+ | |||
+ | <h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Are there any toll roads in Nagaland currently?</h3> | ||
+ | <p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">No, Nagaland currently operates toll-free highways. All major routes including NH-29 (Dimapur-Kohima) and NH-2 (Kohima-Mao) are free to use. Toll collection will begin only after completion of four-lane highway projects.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">When will toll collection start in Nagaland?</h3> | ||
+ | <p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Toll collection is planned to begin after the completion of the four-lane Dimapur-Kohima Highway. Current completion target is September 2025 for the final package, but this has been extended multiple times due to construction challenges.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Do I need FASTag for travel through Nagaland?</h3> | ||
+ | <p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Currently, no FASTag is needed for Nagaland. However, if you're traveling from/to other states with toll roads, having FASTag is recommended for seamless interstate travel once you exit Nagaland.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">What will happen to road users when tolls are introduced?</h3> | ||
+ | <p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">When toll collection begins, users will benefit from significantly improved four-lane highways with reduced travel time (Dimapur-Kohima from 2.5 hours to 1 hour), better safety, and all-weather connectivity. Standard NHAI toll rates will apply.</p> | ||
+ | |||
+ | <h3 style="font-size: 20px; font-weight: bold; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; margin: 15px 0 8px 0;">Are there alternative routes to avoid future tolls?</h3> | ||
+ | <p style="font-size: 16px; color: #202122; font-family: Georgia, 'Times New Roman', serif; line-height: 1.6; margin: 8px 0;">Alternative routes via existing state highways will remain toll-free, but they are slower, less safe, and may not provide all-weather connectivity. The improved four-lane highways will offer significant time and safety benefits justifying toll charges.</p> | ||

Nagaland Toll Roads Complete Guide
System: Currently toll-free state with planned toll infrastructure
Coverage: NH-29 (Dimapur-Kohima), NH-2 (Kohima-Mao), under development
Currency: Indian Rupee (₹) - for future toll implementation
Technology: FASTag ready infrastructure planned, cash payment systems
Operators: NHIDCL, NHAI, Nagaland PWD
Do I Need FASTag for Nagaland? 2025 Update
Currently, you don't need FASTag for Nagaland as the state operates a toll-free highway network. However, this is expected to change with the completion of major infrastructure projects, particularly the four-lane Dimapur-Kohima Highway, which is designated as a tolled facility.
Key Reality: Nagaland is currently one of the few Indian states without operational toll plazas. The Dimapur-Kohima Highway (NH-29) is planned as a toll road but construction delays have postponed toll implementation. When operational, it will reduce travel time from 2.5 hours to 1 hour.
2025 Update: ₹7,712 crore worth of highway projects ongoing across 468.71 km. Major infrastructure development under NHIDCL with completion targets extended to 2025-2026. Future toll infrastructure planned for completed four-lane highways.
Nagaland Toll Costs: Current Status
Nagaland currently operates as a toll-free state with no operational toll plazas. However, future toll infrastructure is planned for major highways upon completion of ongoing four-lane construction projects.
Current Highway Status (2025)
Highway | Route | Current Status | Toll Status |
---|---|---|---|
NH-29 | Dimapur-Kohima (42 km) | Four-lane under construction | Toll-free (Toll planned post-completion) |
NH-2 | Kohima-Mao (26 km) | Two-lane upgradation 74% complete | Toll-free |
NH-29 | Dimapur Bypass | Expected completion Dec 2024 | Toll-free currently |
State Highways | Various routes | Ongoing improvements | Toll-free |
Planned Toll Infrastructure
Project | Length | Investment | Expected Completion |
---|---|---|---|
Dimapur-Kohima Four-Lane | 42 km | Part of ₹7,712 cr projects | Package III: Sep 2025 (16.82% complete) |
Kohima-Mao Upgradation | 26 km | Bharatmala-NH(O)-TSP | Feb 2025 (74.23% complete) |
Dimapur Bypass | Connecting to NH-29 | NHIDCL project | Dec 2024 |
Future Toll Rate Estimates
When toll collection begins on completed highways, rates are expected to follow NHAI standard vehicle classification:
Vehicle Type | Expected Rate Range (₹)* | Applicable Highways |
---|---|---|
Car/Jeep/Van | ₹30-60 | Four-lane NH-29 (post-completion) |
Light Commercial Vehicle | ₹50-95 | Commercial traffic |
2-Axle Bus/Truck | ₹100-190 | Inter-state connectivity |
3-Axle Vehicle | ₹150-285 | Heavy goods vehicles |
Multi-Axle Vehicle | ₹200-380 | Oversized vehicles |
*Estimates based on NHAI standard rates for similar four-lane highways. Actual rates subject to government notification.

Frequently Asked Questions
Are there any toll roads in Nagaland currently?
No, Nagaland currently operates toll-free highways. All major routes including NH-29 (Dimapur-Kohima) and NH-2 (Kohima-Mao) are free to use. Toll collection will begin only after completion of four-lane highway projects.
When will toll collection start in Nagaland?
Toll collection is planned to begin after the completion of the four-lane Dimapur-Kohima Highway. Current completion target is September 2025 for the final package, but this has been extended multiple times due to construction challenges.
Do I need FASTag for travel through Nagaland?
Currently, no FASTag is needed for Nagaland. However, if you're traveling from/to other states with toll roads, having FASTag is recommended for seamless interstate travel once you exit Nagaland.
What will happen to road users when tolls are introduced?
When toll collection begins, users will benefit from significantly improved four-lane highways with reduced travel time (Dimapur-Kohima from 2.5 hours to 1 hour), better safety, and all-weather connectivity. Standard NHAI toll rates will apply.
Are there alternative routes to avoid future tolls?
Alternative routes via existing state highways will remain toll-free, but they are slower, less safe, and may not provide all-weather connectivity. The improved four-lane highways will offer significant time and safety benefits justifying toll charges.
