Choryasi Toll Plaza is an important toll collection point on National Highway 48 in Surat district, Gujarat. It serves vehicles travelling between Surat, Kamrej, Bharuch, Ankleshwar, Vadodara, Ahmedabad and Mumbai.
The highway was formerly numbered NH 8, so older road signs, maps and documents may still use the previous highway number. The toll plaza is located near Choryasi village in Kamrej taluka on the Bharuch–Surat section of NH 48.
Choryasi Toll Plaza is also known for introducing barrier-free toll collection. Instead of stopping at a conventional boom barrier, vehicles can pass through the tolling area while FASTag readers and number-plate recognition cameras record the journey and process the payment.

Directions to Choryasi Toll Plaza
1. From Surat
Join NH 48 towards Kamrej, Ankleshwar, Bharuch and Vadodara. Continue north through the Kamrej highway section. The Choryasi tolling point is reached after travelling beyond the main Kamrej area.
2. From Bharuch or Ankleshwar
Travel south on NH 48 towards Kosamba, Kamrej and Surat. Continue through the Bharuch–Ankleshwar corridor and remain on the main highway. Choryasi Toll Plaza appears before reaching the main Surat urban area.
3. From Vadodara or Ahmedabad
Travel south on NH 48 towards Bharuch and Surat. Continue through Bharuch and Ankleshwar towards Kamrej. Other toll deductions may apply during the longer journey before reaching Choryasi.
4. From Navsari or Mumbai

5. From Hazira
Use the appropriate city road, ring road or highway connection towards Kamrej and NH 48. Live navigation is useful because traffic conditions and road construction can affect the fastest route from Hazira.
How Barrier-Free Tolling Works
Choryasi Toll Plaza does not operate exactly like a traditional toll plaza where every vehicle stops at a booth and waits for a barrier to open.
Overhead equipment scans the FASTag and reads the vehicle registration number while the vehicle passes through the tolling area. Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras provide an additional method of identifying vehicles.
Drivers should follow these precautions:
- Maintain the speed displayed on highway signs
- Do not stop suddenly under the tolling gantry
- Keep the vehicle number plate clean and visible
- Maintain sufficient FASTag balance
- Ensure that the FASTag is linked to the correct vehicle
- Avoid sudden lane changes near the tolling point
Vehicles with insufficient FASTag balance, an invalid tag or a damaged tag may receive a payment notice. Continued failure to clear the toll can result in restrictions or FASTag-related action.
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is the standard payment method at Choryasi Toll Plaza. Before travelling, drivers should confirm that the tag is active and linked to the correct vehicle registration number.
The tag should be fixed properly to the windscreen. A loose, damaged or incorrectly positioned FASTag may not be read successfully.
The vehicle category stored in the FASTag account should also be accurate. A private car incorrectly registered as a commercial or higher-category vehicle may face a larger deduction.
Drivers should keep the FASTag transaction message until they have confirmed that the correct amount was deducted.
Traffic and Travel Tips
NH 48 between Surat and Bharuch carries heavy passenger and commercial traffic throughout the day. Congestion may increase near Kamrej, Kosamba, Ankleshwar and Bharuch.
Traffic is usually heavier during:
- Weekday office hours
- Festival travel
- Long weekends
- Monsoon-related diversions
- Road maintenance work
- Industrial shift-change timings
Although barrier-free tolling reduces waiting time, drivers should remain alert for slower trucks, buses and vehicles entering from local roads.
Maintain a safe distance and avoid overtaking close to the tolling gantry.
