As per Wikipedia

A toll road, also known as a turnpike or tollway, is a public or private road (almost always a controlled-access highway in the present day) for which a fee (or toll) is assessed for passage. It is a form of road pricing typically implemented to help recoup the cost of road construction and maintenance.

In, India before the 4th century BC, the Arthashastra notes the use of tolls.

In current time, Toll is collected by National highways authority of India (NHAI) and it comes under Ministry of road transports and highways(MORTH).

There are currently 531 toll booths operating on NH for approx 25,000 km of road. I have collected the below data from the NHAI Toll Information system portal.

1. State
2. NH No
3. Toll Plaza Name
4. Fees Ony way (in INR)
5. Fees Round (in INR)
6. Toll road length (in Kms)
7. Operation date
8. Traffic (PCU/day)
9. Type

Public Funded
Build, operate and transfer (BOT)
Operate, Maintain and Transfer (MOT)
Bridges

Waav!
This is a comprehensive information on all the Tolls.

Looking at this data, I just got an idea that can add value to our BHP site.

Do we have a place where we enter source and destination, system will show the list of all Tolls that comes in between the source and destination? and the cost that would be incurred to pass through all those tolls?

If we do not have such thing already, I request Team BHP moderators and IS team to develop such page and make it available for users.

I think this will definitely be of utmost value for people (both members and non members)

Really useful info.

Gujarat has maximum traffic, one major contributing factor is that a vast majority of the state highways there are brilliant.

There's this Android app by NHAI that shows toll plaza along the route

Yes, you can do this on the NHAI toll website itself.


1. Select the "Tolls On Map" option. This is what you'll see -




2. Select 'Toll Plaza between two stations' and then your 'Source' & 'Destination' from the droplists at the left side of the map and click 'Search'. Here, I've selected Goa & Bangalore respectively. You will then get a map marked with all the tolls (on the right) and a list of the same tolls with their individual tariffs and the total cost (on the left).








Please note that the interface is a bit annoying and it would be better to use the 'Desktop mode' in your phone browser to do this.

And most of the times toll fee is less in this site than the actual price.

I don't quite think the website provides accurate information. I've done Gurgaon (via Yamuna Expressway) to Lucknow and if I recall the total toll one way was close to INR 700, yet when i check the NHAI website, the toll is shown as 0. Have a look at the screen shot - i tried Noida to Lucknow for simplicity and it gave me incorrect data.

You can try http://www.tollbetween.com/. As far as I have referred this, I have got close to reality info about the number of tolls between 2 destination and toll charges too.

Thanks for this information. I was not aware.

But, adding this in Team-BHP will definitely help is my view. Quality is anyway rest assured in Team-BHP

I am from Bangalore and we pay Rs.50/- one way for a 9Kms elevated tollway. And I remember this being one of the costliest toll roads in India. I did not see this in the Top 20 list. Either the data is not updated or I am overlooking something.

Here is the link to Bangalore tollway.

Toll road length is not updated on NHAI TIS portal (Data Source).

Oh..yeah. I notice it. not sure why it is not updated.

Here is an extract from their website :

"Bangalore Elevated Tollway Pvt. Ltd. (BETPL) is a Special Purpose Vehicle (SPV) promoted for development of party four lane elevated and six lane at grade road from Silk Board Junction to Attibele in the city of Bangalore, the State Capital of Karnataka.
National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has awarded the project to SPV on Built, Operate and Transfer (BOT) – Toll basis in January 2006 and the scope of project involves construction of four lane elevated highway between Km. 9.500 and Km. 18.750, improvement of at grade section between Km 8.765 and Km 18.750 to six lanes and expansion of section between Km. 18.750 and 33.130 to six lanes."

Excellent data compilation.
I guess what most people are confused about is, this data only covers National Highways. All the state /city tolls are not covered by NHAI.
Like Pune - Mumbai expressway is not shown as it is a state highway.
I guess the yamuna one is also a state highway.

[swissknife]

I find that the information does not seem to be complete. For instance, there are Tolls on the OMR from Chennai towards Mamallapuram (not ECR). However, none of them are listed.
The NHAI site also does not list any tolls when the searching for tolls between two stations (Chennai - Pondicherry).

The data is not comprehensive, IMHO.
