Hebbalu Toll Plaza is an important toll collection point on National Highway 48 in Davanagere district, Karnataka. It serves vehicles travelling between Bengaluru, Tumakuru, Sira, Hiriyur, Chitradurga, Davanagere, Harihar and destinations farther north.
The plaza is situated near Hebbalu village between Chitradurga and Davanagere. It collects toll for the Doddasiddavanahally–Hadadi section of the highway.
Older road signs and toll records may identify the route as NH 4. Following the renumbering of National Highways, the Bengaluru–Pune corridor is now officially numbered NH 48.

Hebbalu Toll Plaza Rates
The following toll charges are applicable from April 1, 2026, to March 31, 2027.
| Vehicle category | Single journey | Return journey | Monthly pass |
| Car, jeep or van | ₹140 | ₹210 | ₹4,615 |
| Light commercial vehicle or minibus | ₹225 | ₹335 | ₹7,460 |
| Bus or two-axle truck | ₹470 | ₹705 | ₹15,625 |
| Commercial vehicle with up to three axles | ₹510 | ₹765 | ₹17,050 |

| Heavy construction or earth-moving equipment | ₹735 | ₹1,105 | ₹24,505 |
| Vehicle with seven or more axles | ₹895 | ₹1,340 | ₹29,835 |
A car, jeep or van pays ₹140 for one crossing. An eligible outward and return journey costs ₹210 when both crossings are completed within the permitted 24-hour period.
The standard monthly pass for a car, jeep or van costs ₹4,615. It is intended for frequent travellers and is different from the concessional local resident pass.
Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
The ₹140 car rate applies to one crossing through Hebbalu Toll Plaza.
The ₹210 return rate covers one outward journey and one eligible return journey through the same plaza. It does not mean that ₹210 is charged separately in both directions.
For example, a car travelling from Davanagere towards Chitradurga and returning through Hebbalu within 24 hours may be charged:
- First crossing: ₹140
- Eligible return crossing: ₹70
- Total for both crossings: ₹210
The same active FASTag should be used for both journeys.
When the vehicle returns after the permitted 24-hour period, the second journey may be treated as another single crossing and charged at ₹140.
Drivers should retain both FASTag transaction messages until the return journey has been completed.
Local Commercial Vehicle Rates
Reduced rates are available for qualifying commercial vehicles registered within the district where the toll plaza is located.
| Vehicle category | Local commercial rate |
| Commercial car, jeep or van | ₹70 |
| Light commercial vehicle or minibus | ₹110 |
| Bus or two-axle truck | ₹235 |
| Commercial vehicle with up to three axles | ₹255 |
| Four-to-six-axle vehicle | ₹370 |
| Heavy construction or earth-moving equipment | ₹370 |
| Vehicle with seven or more axles | ₹445 |
A Davanagere district registration number may not automatically activate the reduced toll.
The vehicle owner may need to provide:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Valid commercial permit
- Business or residential-address proof
- Active FASTag linked to the vehicle
- Proof of regular local operation
- Completed application
- Approval from the toll administration
The reduced commercial rate should be confirmed with the toll office before travel.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
A person living within 20 kilometres of Hebbalu Toll Plaza may apply for a concessional monthly pass for a privately owned, non-commercial car, jeep or van.
The local monthly-pass charge for the 2026–27 financial year is:
₹360 per month
Applicants may be required to submit:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Aadhaar card or another identity document
- Current residential-address proof
- Active FASTag linked to the vehicle
- Registered mobile number
- Recent photograph
- Completed local-pass application
The toll administration must verify that the residence is within 20 kilometres of the plaza.
The concession is linked to a particular resident, vehicle and FASTag. Merely owning a vehicle registered in Davanagere district does not automatically qualify the owner.
Address and Exact Location
The commonly used address is: Hebbalu Toll Plaza, Km 237.650, NH 48, near Hebbalu and Bharamasagara, Davanagere District, Karnataka 577556.
The approximate coordinates are:
- Latitude: 14.375564
- Longitude: 76.106875
For accurate navigation, search for:
“Hebbalu Toll Plaza NH 48 Davanagere”
or
“Hebbalu Toll Gate Chitradurga Davanagere Road.”
Some online toll databases display an incorrect location description referring to Umri village in Beed district, Maharashtra. That address does not match Hebbalu Toll Plaza’s NH 48 section, plaza code or geographical coordinates.
Use the coordinates, plaza code 356020 or the words “Davanagere, Karnataka” to locate the correct toll plaza.
Hebbalu Toll Plaza and Hebbal in Bengaluru Are Different
Hebbalu Toll Plaza should not be confused with Hebbal in Bengaluru.
Hebbal is a major locality and flyover area in northern Bengaluru. Hebbalu Toll Plaza is situated much farther away on NH 48 between Chitradurga and Davanagere.
Searching only for “Hebbal Toll” may show locations around Bengaluru. Drivers should enter “Hebbalu Toll Plaza Davanagere” in their navigation application.
Directions to Hebbalu Toll Plaza
1. From Davanagere
Join NH 48 and travel southeast towards Chitradurga, Hiriyur and Bengaluru.
Continue on the Bengaluru-bound carriageway. Follow the toll-lane signs while approaching the Hebbalu and Bharamasagara area.
The toll plaza is located outside central Davanagere.
2. From Chitradurga
Travel northwest on NH 48 towards Davanagere, Harihar and Hubballi.
Continue beyond the Chitradurga-side junctions on the main Pune-bound carriageway. The toll plaza is reached before entering the main Davanagere area.
3. From Bharamasagara
Use an authorised local connection to join NH 48.
Drivers travelling towards Davanagere should use the northbound carriageway. Those travelling towards Chitradurga and Bengaluru should use the southbound side.
Whether a short local journey crosses the toll plaza depends on the entry point and destination.
4. From Bengaluru
Travel north on NH 48 through Nelamangala, Tumakuru, Sira, Hiriyur and Chitradurga.
Continue towards Davanagere. The complete Bengaluru–Hebbalu journey crosses several toll plazas, so the ₹140 Hebbalu charge is only one part of the total route toll.
5. From Tumakuru
Travel north on NH 48 towards Sira, Hiriyur, Chitradurga and Davanagere.
Continue beyond Chitradurga towards Hebbalu. The route normally crosses Guilalu and other toll points before reaching Hebbalu.
6. From Hubballi or Haveri
Travel south on NH 48 through Haveri, Ranebennur, Harihar and Davanagere.
Continue towards Chitradurga. A longer Hubballi–Hebbalu journey may also cross Bankapur and Chalageri toll plazas.
Hebbalu and Chalageri Toll Plazas Are Different
Hebbalu and Chalageri are separate toll plazas on NH 48.
Hebbalu Toll Plaza is located south of Davanagere on the Chitradurga–Davanagere section. Chalageri Toll Plaza is situated north of Davanagere near Ranebennur.
A vehicle travelling between Chitradurga and Ranebennur, Haveri or Hubballi may cross both toll plazas.
Separate FASTag deductions at Hebbalu and Chalageri are therefore not automatically duplicate transactions. Each plaza collects toll for a different highway section.
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is the standard payment method at Hebbalu Toll Plaza.
Before travelling, drivers should ensure that the FASTag:
- Is active and has sufficient balance
- Is correctly fixed to the windscreen
- Is linked to the correct vehicle registration number
- Shows the correct vehicle category
- Has completed the required verification
- Is not damaged, suspended or blacklisted
Maintain sufficient distance from the vehicle ahead while entering the toll lane. Driving too close may interfere with the scanner’s ability to recognise each vehicle separately.
The transaction message should show Hebbalu Toll Plaza or plaza code 356020.
An incorrect deduction can be reported through the FASTag-issuing bank, RajmargYatra or National Highway helpline 1033.
FASTag Annual Pass
The NHAI FASTag Annual Pass costs ₹3,075 for the 2026–27 financial year.
It is available for eligible privately registered, non-commercial cars, jeeps and vans. The pass remains valid for one year from activation or 200 eligible toll-plaza crossings, whichever occurs first.
One passage through Hebbalu Toll Plaza normally counts as one crossing. Travelling through the plaza and later returning counts as two crossings.
Before relying on the Annual Pass, drivers should confirm that:
- Hebbalu Fee Plaza appears in the eligible-plaza list
- The vehicle is privately registered
- The vehicle is non-commercial
- The registered category is car, jeep or van
- The existing FASTag is active
- The FASTag is linked to the correct vehicle number
The pass is activated on the existing FASTag and cannot be transferred to another vehicle.

Traffic and Safety Tips
Hebbalu Toll Plaza may experience increased traffic during:
- Friday and Sunday travel periods
- Public holidays and long weekends
- Festival journeys
- Morning and evening bus travel
- Heavy truck movement
- Road maintenance or diversions
- Monsoon rainfall
- Foggy early mornings
Choose the correct toll lane early and avoid sudden lane changes near the booths.
NH 48 carries substantial freight traffic between Bengaluru, Davanagere, Hubballi, Belagavi and Pune. Maintain additional distance from trucks, trailers and interstate buses.
During heavy rain, reduce speed and allow more braking distance. Local vehicles, motorcycles and agricultural traffic may enter through village and service-road connections.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Why do some websites show Hebbalu Toll Plaza in Beed, Maharashtra?
A: That appears to be an incorrect location field copied into some toll databases. Plaza code 356020, Km 237.650 and the published coordinates place the toll plaza on NH 48 in Davanagere district, Karnataka.
Q: Will a Bengaluru-to-Davanagere journey cross Hebbalu Toll Plaza?
A: Normally, yes. Vehicles following NH 48 through Tumakuru, Hiriyur and Chitradurga generally cross Hebbalu Toll Plaza shortly before reaching Davanagere.
Q: Why did FASTag deduct ₹140 first and ₹70 during the return?
A: The eligible car return rate is ₹210 in total. The system may deduct ₹140 during the first crossing and the remaining ₹70 during the return crossing completed within 24 hours.
Q: Why were both Hebbalu and Chalageri tolls deducted?
A: They are separate toll plazas on different sections of NH 48. A journey passing through Davanagere towards Ranebennur, Haveri or Hubballi may legitimately cross both.
