Commuters surprised to see increase in toll on Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway

Bengaluru Mysuru NHAI FASTag

Commuters on the Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway were surprised to see that the toll deducted in the FASTag account was more than what was being collected earlier.

Many commuters using cars noticed ₹165 being deducted for a one-way journey, instead of ₹135 collected earlier. Sources said that the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has revised the toll, increasing it by 22% from June 1.

While the toll charge for a single-way journey on the expressway for cars was ₹135, it has been increased to ₹165 and for a return journey on the same day, the charges will jump from ₹205 to ₹250. Similarly, light commercial vehicles (LCV) and mini-buses will have to pay ₹270 instead of ₹220 for a one-way trip and ₹405 (earlier ₹330) for a return journey while buses and trucks will have to pay ₹565 and ₹850 for a single-way and two-way journey, respectively.
