Sawaleshwar Toll Plaza is a National Highway fee-collection point on NH 65 in Solapur district, Maharashtra. It is situated near Sawaleshwar village in Mohol taluka and serves vehicles travelling between Pune, Indapur, Tembhurni, Mohol, Solapur and destinations towards Hyderabad.
Older toll records identify the route as NH 9, while the current highway number is NH 65. The plaza is located at Km 229.350 on the Pune-Solapur Package II section. FASTag plaza code 51001 is the most useful identifier when checking a deduction or filing a complaint.
The corridor carries private cars, intercity buses, agricultural traffic and a high volume of commercial vehicles. Drivers travelling across the complete Pune-Solapur route may also cross Varwade Toll Plaza, which is a separate fee plaza on another section of the same highway.

Sawaleshwar Toll Plaza Rates
The latest tariff still publicly displayed on the official NHTIS listing is the schedule effective from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026. Because that period has ended and the 2026-27 revision was not displayed on the official page at the time of checking, travellers should confirm the current amount through the toll control room before relying on these figures.
| Vehicle category | Single journey | Return journey | Monthly pass |
| Car, jeep or van | ₹75 | ₹115 | ₹2,565 |
| Light commercial vehicle | ₹125 | ₹185 | ₹4,140 |
| Bus or two-axle truck | ₹260 | ₹390 | ₹8,680 |
| Vehicle with up to three axles | ₹410 | ₹610 | ₹13,610 |
| Four-to-six-axle vehicle | ₹410 | ₹610 | ₹13,610 |
| Heavy construction or earth-moving equipment | ₹495 | ₹610 | ₹13,610 |
| Vehicle with seven or more axles | ₹495 | ₹745 | ₹16,570 |
Under the last verified schedule, a car, jeep or van paid ₹75 for one crossing and ₹115 for an eligible outward-and-return journey. The return concession normally requires the second crossing to be completed within 24 hours using the same active FASTag.
Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
The return rate is the total price for the outward and eligible return crossings; it is not charged in full on both occasions. Under the last verified car tariff, the transactions could appear as:
- First crossing: ₹75
- Eligible return crossing within 24 hours: ₹40
- Total for both crossings: ₹115
A return after the permitted period may be treated as a fresh single journey. Keep both FASTag messages and check that the plaza name or code 51001 is correct.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
The official listing displayed a ₹350 monthly pass for FY 2025-26 for an eligible person owning a privately registered, non-commercial vehicle and residing within 20 kilometres of the plaza. The current 2026-27 amount should be confirmed with the toll office before payment.
Applicants may be asked to provide:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Aadhaar card or another identity document
- Current residential-address proof
- Active FASTag linked to the vehicle
- Registered mobile number and photograph
- Completed local-pass application
The concession is linked to the approved resident, vehicle and FASTag. A Solapur district registration number alone does not establish eligibility.

Sawaleshwar and Varwade Toll Plazas Are Different
Sawaleshwar and Varwade are separate toll plazas on different packages of the Pune-Solapur highway. A complete Pune-to-Solapur journey can therefore produce valid deductions at both plazas. Before reporting a duplicate charge, compare the plaza name, code, amount, transaction time and direction of travel.
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is the standard payment method at Sawaleshwar Toll Plaza. Before travelling, make sure the tag:
- Is active and has sufficient balance
- Is correctly fixed to the windscreen
- Is linked to the correct registration number
- Shows the correct vehicle and axle category
- Has completed the required verification
- Is not damaged, suspended or blacklisted
Maintain adequate distance from the vehicle ahead while entering the lane. For a wrong or duplicate deduction, retain the transaction message and complain through the FASTag-issuing bank, RajmargYatra or helpline 1033.
FASTag Annual Pass
The NHAI FASTag Annual Pass costs ₹3,075 for FY 2026-27. It is intended for eligible privately registered, non-commercial cars, jeeps and vans and remains valid for one year from activation or 200 eligible crossings, whichever occurs first.
Before relying on it at Sawaleshwar, confirm that the plaza is included in the current eligible-plaza list and that activation is complete on the vehicle’s existing FASTag. An outward and return journey normally counts as two crossings.
