Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
The ₹115 car return tariff is the total charge for two eligible crossings. It does not mean that ₹115 is charged in each direction.
A normal transaction may appear as:
- First crossing: ₹75
- Return crossing within 24 hours: ₹40
- Total for both crossings: ₹115
If the vehicle returns after the allowed period, the second passage may be treated as another single journey and charged ₹75. Keep both FASTag messages until the trip is complete and check that they show Shakapur or plaza code 079001.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
The public toll listing shows concessional local monthly passes for privately owned, non-commercial cars, jeeps and vans:
- ₹150 for eligible residents within 10 kilometres
- ₹300 for eligible residents within 20 kilometres
Because local-pass approval depends on residence verification and plaza rules, applicants should confirm the currently accepted amount and documents with the control room before paying.
Commonly requested documents include:
- 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 application form
The concession is linked to one resident, vehicle and FASTag. A Mahabubnagar registration number alone does not automatically establish eligibility.
Address and Exact Location
The commonly used address is: Sakapur Toll Plaza, NH 44, near Shakhapur village, Addakal mandal, Mahabubnagar District, Telangana.
Directions to Sakapur Toll Plaza
1. From Hyderabad
Travel south on NH 44 through Shamshabad and Jadcherla towards Mahabubnagar and Kurnool. Continue beyond Jadcherla on the Kothakota-bound carriageway. Follow advance toll signs near the Addakal-Shakhapur area.
2. From Mahabubnagar
Use the appropriate connection towards NH 44 and join the highway towards Kothakota or Kurnool. Stay on the southbound carriageway and follow signs for Shakapur Toll Plaza.
3. From Jadcherla
Travel south on NH 44 towards Addakal, Kothakota and Kurnool. The plaza lies on the Jadcherla-Kothakota section.
4. From Kothakota or Wanaparthy
Join NH 44 and travel north towards Jadcherla and Hyderabad. Sakapur Toll Plaza is encountered near Shakhapur before reaching Jadcherla.
5. From Kurnool
Travel north on NH 44 towards Kothakota, Jadcherla and Hyderabad. A long-distance journey may cross other toll plazas before Sakapur, so check each FASTag deduction by name, code and time.
Sakapur and Other NH 44 Toll Plazas Are Different
Sakapur is not the same as Raikal, Manoharabad, Gamjal or other toll plazas located on different sections of NH 44 in Telangana. A longer journey between Hyderabad and Kurnool may produce more than one valid toll deduction.
Before reporting a duplicate charge, compare the plaza name, code 079001, amount, transaction time and route followed.
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is the standard payment method at Sakapur Toll Plaza. Before travelling, ensure that the tag:
- Is active and has sufficient balance
- Is fixed correctly to the windscreen
- Is linked to the correct registration number
- Shows the correct vehicle category
- Has completed the required KYC
- Is not damaged, suspended or blacklisted
Maintain distance from the vehicle ahead while entering the lane. If a wrong amount is deducted, raise a complaint 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 at participating National Highway and National Expressway fee plazas.
The pass is valid for one year from activation or 200 eligible crossings, whichever occurs first. Confirm that Sakapur is covered and that activation is complete before relying on it. An outward and return journey normally uses two crossings.
