The Mumbai–Pune Expressway has a separate toll system. Its charges are not included in the Khed Shivapur toll.

Use the most suitable local connection towards NH 48, depending on traffic and your starting point. Routes through Donaje or the Katraj side may be suggested by live navigation. Join NH 48 only through an authorised entry point.
5. From Saswad
Travel towards Katraj or use the available road connection towards the Pune–Satara Highway. The best route may vary because of local road conditions and highway construction.
FASTag and Digital Payment
FASTag is the main payment method at Khed Shivapur Toll Plaza. Reports from April 2026 state that cash collection was discontinued as part of the shift towards digital toll payments. Drivers should therefore keep their FASTag active and maintain sufficient balance before entering the lane.
Check that the FASTag is linked to the correct vehicle registration and category. A damaged, blacklisted or underfunded tag may result in delays or an additional charge under the applicable rules.
Traffic and Travel Tips
The plaza can become crowded on Friday evenings, weekends, long holidays and festival travel days. Extra delays are also possible near Katraj tunnel, Navale Bridge and highway construction zones.
Heavy vehicles frequently use this corridor. Maintain a safe distance, avoid sudden lane changes and follow temporary speed restrictions. Current safety concerns on the Katraj–Khed Shivapur highway section have also led authorities to consider additional checks and traffic-control measures.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are MH 12 or Pune-registered vehicles automatically toll-free?
A: No. A Pune registration number does not automatically provide an exemption. Local concession eligibility depends mainly on residence within the specified distance and the required supporting documents.

A: No. Khed Shivapur Toll Plaza is located farther south on NH 48 after the Katraj section. People may informally connect it with Katraj because most Pune–Satara traffic reaches it through the Katraj tunnel.
