NHAI hike Toll rate: Commuters in Bengaluru are indeed facing higher toll rates starting July 1, 2025, on multiple key expressways and roads, leading to what many are calling a “big shock.” These hikes are primarily driven by annual adjustments based on the Wholesale Price Index (WPI).

Here’s a breakdown of where the toll rates have increased:

1. Bengaluru Elevated Expressway (Central Silk Board to Electronics City and further towards Attibele): This stretch of National Highway 44, managed by Bangalore Elevated Tollway Pvt Ltd (BETPL) under NHAI, has seen revised rates.

Cars, Jeeps, Vans:

One-way trip: Rs 65 (up from Rs 60)

Same-day return: Rs 95 (up from Rs 90)

Monthly pass: Rs 1,885 (up from Rs 1,795)

Two-wheelers (allowed on certain stretches): Rs 25 for a single trip (up from Rs 20). Monthly pass is also hiked.

Buses and Trucks:

Single journey: Rs 175 (up from Rs 170)

Monthly pass: Rs 5,275 (up from Rs 5,030)

Multi-axle Vehicles (MAVs):

Per trip: Rs 350 (up from Rs 330)

Monthly pass: Rs 10,550 (up from Rs 8,780)

At the Attibele toll plaza (for four-wheelers and larger vehicles):

Cars: Rs 40 per trip (up from Rs 35) and Rs 1,130 monthly.

MAVs: Rs 265 per trip and Rs 7,915 for a monthly pass. Two-wheelers remain exempt at this specific point.

2. NICE Road (Nandi Infrastructure Corridor Enterprise Road): The private concessionaire, Nandi Economic Corridor Enterprises Limited (NECE), has also implemented revised toll tariffs across its seven key stretches from July 1.

Cars and Two-wheelers: Generally a marginal increase of Rs 3 to Rs 5 per stretch for a single journey, depending on the section and distance.

Buses: Will pay an additional Rs 10 to Rs 25 per journey.

Trucks and other commercial vehicles: Also face higher rates across all sections.

For example, on the Hosur Road to Bannerghatta Road stretch:

Cars: Rs 65 (up from Rs 60)

Two-wheelers: Rs 30 (up from Rs 25)

Buses: Rs 195 (up from Rs 170)

3. Bengaluru-Chennai Expressway (Karnataka stretch): The NHAI is also set to begin toll collection on the 70-km Karnataka stretch of the newly opened Bengaluru-Chennai expressway. While the exact rates were being finalized, reports indicated:

Cars: Likely to pay Rs 150 for a one-way trip and Rs 225 for a return journey.

Heavy vehicles: May be charged up to Rs 520 one-way and Rs 780 for a round trip.

These toll revisions are annual adjustments based on inflation, specifically the Wholesale Price Index (WPI). The increases are impacting daily commuters and commercial operators, and may lead to a cascading effect on passenger ticket prices and freight rates.
