Duhai Toll Plaza is an entry-and-exit toll facility on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway in Ghaziabad district, Uttar Pradesh. It serves vehicles travelling between Duhai, Muradnagar, Ghaziabad, Baghpat, Kundli, Greater Noida, Faridabad and Palwal.
The plaza is located near the Duhai interchange where the Eastern Peripheral Expressway connects with the Delhi-Meerut road corridor. It is part of National Expressway 2, also called the Kundli-Ghaziabad-Palwal Expressway or KGP Expressway.
Duhai is a closed-loop toll point. A vehicle is recorded when it enters the expressway and charged according to its vehicle class and the distance travelled when it exits. This is different from an ordinary open toll plaza that has one fixed single-journey charge for the entire project section.
The plaza may be displayed as Duhai Toll Plaza, Duhai EPE Toll, Duhai Close Loop Toll or Duhai Fee Plaza. These names generally refer to the same expressway toll facility with plaza code 320055.

The Eastern Peripheral Expressway is a major Delhi bypass. It diverts through traffic around the eastern side of the National Capital Region and links the Kundli, Baghpat, Ghaziabad, Greater Noida, Faridabad and Palwal areas without requiring vehicles to enter central Delhi.
Duhai Toll Plaza Rates
Duhai does not have one universal single, return or monthly rate because the Eastern Peripheral Expressway uses a closed tolling system. The final deduction depends on the vehicle category and the entry-exit combination.
The following confirmed car, jeep and van examples apply for the 2026-27 period:
| Example EPE journey | 2026 car/jeep/van toll | Charging method |
| Duhai to Mavi Kalan | ₹65 | Distance-based |
| Duhai to Maujpur | ₹145 | Distance-based |
| Duhai to Sihol/Palwal side | ₹180 | Distance-based |
A car travelling from Duhai to Mavi Kalan is charged ₹65, while a longer Duhai-to-Maujpur journey is charged ₹145. Travel from Duhai towards Sihol or the Palwal side costs ₹180 for a car, jeep or van under the published 2026 examples.
Light commercial vehicles, buses, trucks and multi-axle vehicles pay higher route-based charges. Their exact amount should be checked on the exit display, FASTag message or official toll calculator because the rate changes with both distance and vehicle class.
A fixed single-journey, return-journey or standard monthly-pass figure is therefore not published against Duhai in the same manner as a conventional open toll plaza.
Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
One trip from an EPE entry point to an exit point is treated as one closed-loop journey.
For example, a car entering at Duhai and exiting at Mavi Kalan is charged ₹65 under the 2026 route rate. If the same vehicle later travels back from Mavi Kalan to Duhai, the return movement is recorded as a separate entry-exit journey.
A typical same-route round trip may therefore appear as:
- Duhai to Mavi Kalan: ₹65
- Mavi Kalan to Duhai: a separate ₹65 journey at the same route rate
- Indicative total for both directions: ₹130
This example assumes the same vehicle class, the same entry-exit pair and no tariff change between the two journeys.
The ordinary 24-hour return discount used at many open toll plazas should not be assumed at Duhai. The closed-loop system calculates each journey from its recorded entry and exit.
Drivers should keep both FASTag messages and compare the entry location, exit location, amount and time before reporting an incorrect or duplicate deduction.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
The public Duhai closed-loop tariff listing does not display a fixed local-resident monthly-pass amount.
Residents living near Duhai, Basantpur Saitli or Muradnagar should not assume that a standard local pass will activate automatically. Eligibility can depend on the applicable EPE concession terms, residence distance, vehicle type and the entry-exit route regularly used.
A resident seeking a local or frequent-user facility 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
- Recent photograph
- Details of the regular EPE entry and exit points
The toll control room should confirm the current scheme, charge and required documents before an application is made.
Duhai village residence or a Ghaziabad registration number alone does not guarantee a concessional pass.
Local Commercial Vehicle Concession
The Duhai closed-loop tariff listing does not publish a separate fixed local-commercial rate for cars, taxis, buses, trucks or goods vehicles.
Commercial operators should expect the toll to be calculated from the vehicle class and the actual entry-exit distance unless a verified concession has been configured on the FASTag.
Any commercial concession may depend on:
- Vehicle registration category
- Commercial permit
- Registered business address
- Regular operating route
- FASTag and vehicle-class details
- Terms of the EPE tolling agreement
- Approval from the toll administration
Taxi, bus, truck and goods-vehicle operators should contact the toll control room before expecting a discounted deduction.
Address and Exact Location
The commonly used address is: Duhai EPE Toll Plaza, Eastern Peripheral Expressway, near Duhai and Basantpur Saitli, Ghaziabad District, Uttar Pradesh 201206.
The plaza is located at approximately Km 44.512 of NE 2, close to the expressway connection with the Delhi-Meerut road corridor.
The approximate coordinates are:
- Latitude: 28.687737
- Longitude: 77.535800
Do not select Duhai RRTS station or Duhai Depot as the destination when the intended location is the expressway toll plaza.
Directions to Duhai Toll Plaza
1. From Ghaziabad
Travel towards Muradnagar and Duhai using the Delhi-Meerut road corridor.
Follow signs for the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and join the authorised interchange near Duhai. Select the correct ramp according to whether the journey is towards Baghpat and Kundli or towards Dasna, Greater Noida and Palwal.
2. From Delhi
Travel towards Ghaziabad using the appropriate NH 9 or Delhi-Meerut corridor connection.
Proceed towards Duhai and follow EPE signs at the interchange. The exact approach depends on the Delhi starting point and whether the vehicle joins through Ghaziabad, Dasna or another authorised EPE access point.
3. From Meerut
Travel southwest towards Modinagar, Muradnagar and Duhai on the Delhi-Meerut corridor.
Use the marked interchange to join the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. Keep to the correct ramp early because the interchange separates traffic towards Kundli from traffic towards Greater Noida and Palwal.
4. From Muradnagar
Travel towards Duhai and follow signs for the Eastern Peripheral Expressway.
Enter through the authorised toll lane. Local roads, RRTS access roads and the expressway entry ramps are separate, so follow the EPE signs rather than a generic Duhai destination.
5. From Baghpat or Mavi Kalan
Join the Eastern Peripheral Expressway and travel southeast towards Ghaziabad and Duhai.
Exit through the Duhai toll facility. The 2026 car rate for the Duhai-Mavi Kalan entry-exit pair is ₹65.
6. From Kundli
Join NE 2 at the Kundli end and travel southeast through the Sonipat and Baghpat-side sections.
Continue towards Ghaziabad and use the Duhai exit. The toll will be calculated from the Kundli-side entry point to Duhai according to the vehicle class.
7. From Greater Noida
Join the Eastern Peripheral Expressway through the appropriate authorised interchange and travel north towards Dasna and Duhai.
Remain on NE 2 until the Duhai exit. The amount deducted will depend on the exact entry point used in the Greater Noida area.
8. From Faridabad or Palwal
Join the Eastern Peripheral Expressway towards Greater Noida, Ghaziabad and Kundli.
Continue north to the Duhai exit. A car journey between Duhai and the Sihol or Palwal side is listed at ₹180 in the published 2026 route examples.
Duhai and Dasna Toll Points Are Different
Duhai and Dasna are separate access points on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway network.
Duhai is located near the NE 2 connection with the Delhi-Meerut road corridor, while Dasna is farther south near the NH 9 and Delhi-Meerut Expressway connection.
A journey entering at one point and exiting at the other is charged for the distance travelled between them. A FASTag message showing a Dasna entry and Duhai exit is therefore not automatically a duplicate toll.
Compare the entry plaza, exit plaza, vehicle class, transaction time and deducted amount before raising a complaint.
Duhai Toll Plaza and Duhai RRTS Station Are Different Locations
Duhai Toll Plaza is an expressway toll facility on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway.
Duhai and Duhai Depot RRTS stations are passenger-rail facilities on the Delhi-Ghaziabad-Meerut Namo Bharat corridor. They are not toll plazas.
A navigation search for “Duhai” may show the village, RRTS station, depot or toll plaza. Select the result marked Eastern Peripheral Expressway or NE 2 when travelling to the toll facility.
FASTag and Payment Information
Duhai Toll Plaza uses digital, closed-loop toll collection. FASTag is the standard payment method, while authorised UPI payment may be used where the lane system permits it.
Before entering the expressway, ensure that the FASTag:
- Is active and has sufficient balance
- Is correctly attached to the windscreen
- Is linked to the correct registration number
- Shows the correct vehicle category
- Has completed the required verification
- Is not damaged, suspended or blacklisted
The system must match the vehicle’s entry record with its exit record. Do not change lanes suddenly or follow another vehicle too closely at the entry and exit gantries.
The transaction message may show Duhai, Duhai EPE, Close Loop Toll or plaza code 320055.
An incorrect deduction can be reported through the FASTag-issuing bank, the Rajmarg Yatra application 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 remains valid for one year from activation or 200 eligible crossings, whichever occurs first.
In a closed toll system such as the Eastern Peripheral Expressway, one valid entry-exit pair counts as one crossing. A later return journey creates another entry-exit pair and normally counts as another crossing.
Before relying on the Annual Pass, ensure that:
- The vehicle is privately registered
- The vehicle is non-commercial
- Its registered category is car, jeep or van
- The existing FASTag is active
- The tag is linked to the correct vehicle number
- The relevant EPE plaza is shown as eligible
- Annual Pass activation has been completed successfully
The Annual Pass is activated on the existing FASTag and cannot be transferred to another vehicle.

- Morning and evening NCR commuting hours
- Heavy commercial-vehicle movement
- Weekends and public holidays
- Festival travel
- Foggy winter mornings and nights
- Monsoon rainfall
- Road repairs or lane restrictions

Dense winter fog can sharply reduce visibility around Duhai and Muradnagar. Slow down gradually, use appropriate lights and avoid stopping in an active lane.
Drivers should use a designated emergency area or safe shoulder location where available and call 1033 when assistance is required.
