Chillakallu Toll Plaza is an important toll collection point on National Highway 65 in NTR district, Andhra Pradesh. It serves vehicles travelling between Hyderabad, Suryapet, Kodad, Jaggayyapeta, Nandigama and Vijayawada.
The plaza is situated near Chillakallu village in Jaggayyapeta mandal, close to the Telangana–Andhra Pradesh side of the Hyderabad–Vijayawada highway.

The following toll charges are applicable from July 24, 2026, to March 31, 2027.
| Vehicle category | Single journey | Return journey | Monthly pass |
| Car, jeep or van | ₹105 | ₹160 | ₹3,515 |
| Light commercial vehicle or minibus | ₹170 | ₹255 | ₹5,680 |

| Vehicle with seven or more axles | ₹680 | ₹1,020 | ₹22,715 |
A car, jeep or van pays ₹105 for one passage through Chillakallu Toll Plaza.
An eligible outward and return journey costs ₹160 when the return crossing is completed within 24 hours using the same FASTag.
The ₹3,515 monthly pass is the standard pass for frequent car users. It is different from the concessional local monthly pass available to qualifying residents.
Why Some Websites Show ₹100 Instead of ₹105
An earlier tariff became effective on April 1, 2026. Under that rate schedule, the car toll was:
- ₹100 for a single journey
- ₹155 for a return journey
- ₹3,410 for the standard monthly pass
The tariff was subsequently revised from July 24, 2026. The current listed car charges are therefore:
- ₹105 for a single journey
- ₹160 for a return journey
- ₹3,515 for the standard monthly pass
Some route calculators and toll websites may continue displaying the earlier April 2026 rates because their databases have not yet been updated.
Drivers should check the amount displayed at the plaza and the actual FASTag transaction message.
Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
The ₹105 car rate applies to one crossing through Chillakallu Toll Plaza.
The ₹160 return rate covers one outward crossing and one eligible return crossing. It does not mean that ₹160 is charged during each journey.
A normal FASTag transaction may appear as:
- First crossing: ₹105
- Return crossing within 24 hours: ₹55
- Total charge for both crossings: ₹160
The same active FASTag should be used for both journeys.
When the vehicle returns after the permitted 24-hour period, the second passage may be treated as another single journey and charged ₹105.
Drivers should keep both FASTag transaction messages until the return journey has been completed.
Local Commercial Vehicle Rates
Reduced toll rates are listed for qualifying commercial vehicles registered within the district where Chillakallu Toll Plaza is situated.
| Vehicle category | Local commercial rate |
| Commercial car, jeep or van | ₹55 |
| Light commercial vehicle or minibus | ₹85 |
| Bus or two-axle truck | ₹180 |
| Commercial vehicle with up to three axles | ₹195 |
| Four-to-six-axle vehicle | ₹280 |
| Heavy construction or earth-moving equipment | ₹280 |
| Vehicle with seven or more axles | ₹340 |
A vehicle registered in NTR district may not receive the reduced rate automatically.
The owner may be required to provide:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Valid commercial permit
- Registered business or residential-address proof
- Active FASTag linked to the vehicle
- Proof of regular local operation
- Completed concession application
- Documents requested by the toll administration
The concession normally becomes active only after the toll office verifies the documents and links the reduced rate to the approved FASTag.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
An eligible person living within 20 kilometres of Chillakallu 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 situated within the permitted 20-kilometre distance.
The pass is linked to a particular resident, vehicle and FASTag. Merely owning a vehicle registered in NTR district does not automatically qualify the owner.

Chillakallu, Korlapahad and Panthangi Toll Plazas Are Different

Korlapahad Toll Plaza is located farther east between Suryapet and Kodad.
Chillakallu Toll Plaza is situated in Andhra Pradesh near Jaggayyapeta.
A vehicle travelling from Hyderabad to Vijayawada may receive separate FASTag deductions at all three plazas.
These deductions are not automatically duplicate transactions because each plaza covers a different highway section.
Drivers should compare:
- Exact toll-plaza name
- Plaza code
- Transaction date and time
- Amount deducted
- Direction of travel
- Route followed
Chillakallu Toll Plaza’s code is 15003.
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is the standard toll-payment method at Chillakallu Toll Plaza.
Before travelling, ensure that the FASTag:
- Is active and has sufficient balance
- Is correctly attached to the windscreen

- 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. Chillakallu has 22 toll lanes and handles considerable bus and truck traffic.

The transaction message may display Chillakallu, Chilakallu or plaza code 15003.
An incorrect deduction can be reported through the FASTag-issuing bank, RajmargYatra or National Highway helpline 1033.
