Do I Need FASTag for Delhi? 2026 Update
Yes, FASTag is mandatory for all four-wheeled and heavier vehicles on national highways around Delhi. Cash is still accepted at NHAI plazas, but vehicles without a valid FASTag pay double the fee in cash or 1.25 times the fee if they pay by UPI. Satellite-based (GPS) tolling has not replaced FASTag: the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways clarified in April 2025 that no nationwide switch had been decided, and NHAI is introducing ANPR-FASTag barrier-less tolling at selected plazas instead.
Key Reality: Without a valid FASTag, a car pays ₹210 in cash or ₹131 by UPI at Kherki Daula instead of ₹105. Regular commuters can cut costs further with the FASTag Annual Pass or a local monthly pass.
2026 Update: Kherki Daula toll plaza rates were revised on April 1, 2026, and cars now pay ₹105 one way. Bijwasan toll plaza on the Dwarka Expressway now collects toll (₹235 for cars one way). The Delhi-Mumbai Expressway is partially operational, with remaining sections opening in phases.

MCD Entry Toll: The Municipal Corporation of Delhi collects an entry toll from commercial vehicles at more than 120 border entry points, including Kundli, Badarpur, Kapashera, Loni, Tikri, Singhu, Gazipur and DND. Rates depend on vehicle category (Car or 3-wheeler, LCV, Bus, 2-axle, 3-axle and 4-axle vehicles). Private non-commercial cars are generally not charged.
Environment Compensation Charge (ECC): Commercial vehicles entering Delhi also pay ECC, collected by MCD at the same entry points and separate from toll. Since April 2026 the charge is ₹2,000 for LCVs and 2-axle trucks (up from ₹1,400) and ₹4,000 for 3-axle and larger vehicles (up from ₹2,600). The FASTag Annual Pass does not cover MCD entry toll or ECC.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I avoid Delhi tolls completely?
Partially - you can use surface roads and state highways, but this adds 1-3 hours to most journeys. For Delhi NCR travel, DND Flyway is toll-free, and Ring Roads within Delhi don't charge tolls.
What happens if I don't pay Delhi tolls?
On national highways, vehicles without a valid FASTag pay double the fee in cash or 1.25 times the fee by UPI. Driving through without paying can lead to fines and enforcement action by the authorities.
Do motorcycles pay tolls in Delhi?
Two-wheelers are generally exempt at NHAI fee plazas, so they do not pay at Kherki Daula or Bijwasan. Check the operator's rules for individual expressways such as the Yamuna Expressway.
Is the DND Flyway really toll-free?
Yes, DND Flyway has been toll-free since October 2016 when Allahabad High Court ordered no toll collection. The Supreme Court's final ruling on December 20, 2024 rejected the operator's appeal and held the toll agreement invalid. Commercial vehicles entering Delhi at the DND border point may still pay MCD entry toll and ECC.
When will the new GPS toll system start?
It has not started. Satellite-based tolling was not launched on May 1, 2025 as some reports suggested, and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways clarified that no nationwide decision had been taken. NHAI is instead introducing ANPR-FASTag barrier-less tolling at selected plazas, and FASTag remains the primary system.
