Agricultural vehicles, armed forces vehicles, emergency services, and hearses are often exempt. Residents within 20 km of a plaza get concessional rates.

What industry experts say about India's toll ecosystem
"By 2026, India's ETC adoption has touched 99% across NHAI plazas — a remarkable infrastructure leap. The GNSS-based satellite tolling pilot is now live on select corridors, and a nationwide rollout is expected within 12–18 months. This will be a paradigm shift: no barriers, no stopping, purely distance-based billing via an in-vehicle unit."
"The 2025–26 NHAI toll revision has been manageable for us — roughly 9–11% across categories. FASTag remains transformative for fleet operators. With the newer NHAI commercial vehicle pass schemes, fleets crossing the same corridors weekly are seeing effective per-trip costs come down despite the headline rate increase."
"In 2026, a typical 1,000-km road trip in India can cost ₹2,500–4,200 in tolls for a car — noticeably higher than three years ago, but the roads are genuinely better. The Mumbai–Nagpur Samruddhi Expressway and the Delhi–Mumbai corridor have been game-changers for intercity travel times. Budgeting for tolls separately from fuel is now standard advice I give every traveller."
