Bandhwari Toll Plaza is a busy toll collection point on the Gurugram–Faridabad Road in Haryana. It serves commuters travelling between Gurugram, Faridabad, Gwal Pahari, Ghata, Bandhwari, Mangar, Pali and nearby areas of South Delhi.
Unlike most toll plazas covered in this series, Bandhwari is not an NHAI National Highway fee plaza. It is situated on a Haryana state-road project managed by the Public Works Department, Buildings and Roads Branch.
The Gurugram–Faridabad corridor is approximately 33.10 kilometres long. The road was developed through a build-operate-transfer arrangement by GF Toll Road Private Limited, associated with Reliance Infrastructure.

Bandhwari appears in the NPCI toll-plaza master list as a state toll facility in Haryana with plaza code 536343. All 21 lanes were equipped for FASTag processing.
Is Bandhwari Toll Plaza Still Operational?
Yes. Toll collection was initially expected to end when the concession arrangement expired during 2026.
The collection period was first extended until July 2, 2026. Local residents were told that the plaza would close after that date, but the Haryana government later ordered toll collection to continue until further instructions.
Therefore, drivers should not assume that Bandhwari has become toll-free merely because the original concession period has ended.
Bandhwari Toll Plaza Rates
The last publicly reported tariff continues to be used in current toll references. The following charges should be treated as the practical current schedule unless a different amount is displayed at the plaza.
| Vehicle category | Single journey | Return within 24 hours | Monthly pass |
| Private car, jeep or similar vehicle | ₹45 | ₹60 | ₹800 |
| Commercial car, jeep or station wagon | ₹45 | ₹60 | ₹1,200 |
| Light commercial vehicle or low-power truck | ₹140 | ₹210 | ₹4,200 |
| Bus or school bus | ₹170 | ₹255 | ₹5,100 |
| Truck with up to ten tyres | ₹300 | ₹450 | ₹9,000 |
| Tractor-trailer carrying construction material | ₹80 | ₹120 | ₹2,400 |
| Multi-axle vehicle with more than ten tyres | ₹350 | ₹525 | ₹10,500 |
| Crane, dozer, earthmover or road roller | ₹350 | ₹525 | ₹10,500 |
The category-wise commercial, bus, truck and monthly-pass amounts come from the Haryana PWD-linked tariff revision. Public reports differ slightly on the private-car single rate: most current references show ₹45, while one report carried ₹40. Drivers should check the displayed tariff and FASTag transaction before leaving the plaza.
Single and Return Charges Explained
The ₹45 private-car charge applies to one journey through Bandhwari Toll Plaza.
The ₹60 return charge covers one outward journey and one return journey completed within the permitted 24-hour period. It does not mean that ₹60 is charged during each crossing.
A normal transaction may appear as:
- First crossing: ₹45
- Eligible return crossing: ₹15
- Total for both crossings: ₹60
The same active FASTag should be used for both passages. A vehicle returning after the 24-hour period may be charged another complete single-journey toll.
Bandhwari Monthly Pass
A private-car monthly pass costs ₹800. The commercial-car monthly pass costs ₹1,200.
These passes are intended for frequent commuters using the Gurugram–Faridabad Road. More than 8,000 vehicle owners were reported to have monthly passes when FASTag was introduced at the plaza.
The pass can be linked to the vehicle’s FASTag. Applicants may need to visit the toll office for initial verification or conversion of an older local toll tag.
Documents commonly requested may include:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Identity proof
- Address proof
- Active FASTag details
- Registered mobile number
- Completed pass application
Bandhwari does not follow the standard ₹360 local-resident pass used at many NHAI plazas. Its monthly-pass structure is based on the Haryana state-road toll agreement.
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag became operational across Bandhwari Toll Plaza in September 2024. All 21 toll lanes were equipped with electronic readers.
Cash transactions were discontinued from May 1, 2025. Drivers were initially given a short transition period during which UPI could also be used, but the stated policy was to move the plaza to FASTag-based payment.
Before travelling, ensure that the FASTag:
- Is active and sufficiently funded
- Is fixed correctly to the windscreen
- Is linked to the correct vehicle number
- Shows the correct vehicle category
- Is not blacklisted or suspended
A transaction message may show Bandhwari Toll Plaza, Gurugram–Faridabad Road Toll Plaza or plaza code 536343.
When the FASTag does not work, avoid arguing in an active toll lane. Move to the assistance area, record the lane number and transaction time, and contact the FASTag-issuing bank.
NHAI FASTag Annual Pass
The NHAI FASTag Annual Pass does not normally apply at Bandhwari Toll Plaza.
The Annual Pass is designed for eligible National Highway and National Expressway fee plazas. Bandhwari is classified as a Haryana state toll plaza rather than an NHAI fee plaza.
Purchasing the ₹3,075 NHAI Annual Pass for 2026–27 therefore does not automatically cover Bandhwari. Regular commuters should use the Bandhwari-specific monthly-pass facility instead.
