Planning to drive from Mumbai to Nagpur on the Hindu Hrudaysamrat Balasaheb Thackeray Maharashtra Samruddhi Mahamarg? One of the first expenses to consider is the FASTag toll.

Unlike a toll road that charges a fixed amount at every booth, Samruddhi Mahamarg operates an exit-based toll system. Your entry and exit locations determine the chargeable distance.

The notified calculation method multiplies the chargeable distance by the applicable vehicle-category rate, then rounds the amount to the nearest ₹5.

Formula: Toll = Distance travelled × Applicable rate per kilometre.

How Is Toll Calculated on Samruddhi Mahamarg?

According to the Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC), Samruddhi Mahamarg uses an exit-based tolling system.

1. Your vehicle enters the expressway through an authorised interchange.
2. The entry transaction is recorded.
3. You continue to your chosen exit.
4. The exit transaction is matched with the entry record.
5. The applicable toll is calculated using the recorded journey distance and vehicle classification.

MSRDC calls this matching process transaction pairing. It is important because an unmatched entry or exit can produce an incorrect fare.

Is FASTag Mandatory on Samruddhi Mahamarg?

Yes. MSRDC’s public notice states that tolls at its listed projects, including Samruddhi Mahamarg, are collected through E-Tag or FASTag from 1 April 2025.

The notice further states that a vehicle without a valid, functional FASTag, or a motorist seeking to pay by another method, is liable for a fee equal to twice the applicable user fee.

Why Was More Toll Deducted Than Expected?

If the deduction seems unusually high, check whether your entry and exit records were correctly paired.

MSRDC has explained that mismatched entry and exit transaction modes can prevent proper pairing. Its published clarification describes circumstances in which a farthest-plaza or nearest-plaza fare may be charged instead.

Other possible issues include:

• Incorrect vehicle classification.
• Unexpected entry or exit recording.
• FASTag transaction processing problems.
• A duplicated or otherwise disputed deduction.

Check your FASTag statement and retain the transaction identifiers before raising a complaint.

Does the FASTag Annual Pass Work Here?

Do not assume that the NHAI National Highway FASTag Annual Pass covers Samruddhi Mahamarg.

Samruddhi Mahamarg is an MSRDC-operated Maharashtra expressway, while the national Annual Pass is governed by its own eligibility and fee-plaza conditions. Verify coverage through the official Annual Pass terms before travelling.

Are Two-Wheelers Allowed?

The Maharashtra government’s Shendra notification specifies that two-wheelers, three-wheelers, six-seater autorickshaws and tractors are not permitted on Samruddhi Mahamarg.

Drivers should follow the expressway’s current vehicle-access rules and traffic signage.
