Shanthigrama Toll Plaza is a National Highway fee-collection point on NH 75 in Hassan district, Karnataka. It lies on the Hassan–Devihalli section of the Bengaluru–Mangaluru corridor and serves vehicles travelling between Bengaluru, Kunigal, Channarayapatna, Hassan, Sakleshpur and Mangaluru.
The official NHTIS listing uses the spelling Shanthigrama, while some current toll databases use Shantigrama. Both refer to the same plaza at Km 169.350. FASTag plaza code 120001 is the most reliable identifier when checking a deduction or reporting a transaction problem.
The plaza is one of two toll points on the Hassan–Devihalli project stretch. Kirisave (Kadabhalli) Toll Plaza lies farther east towards Channarayapatna and Bengaluru, so a through journey can generate valid deductions at both plazas.

Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
For a car, the ₹75 return tariff is the combined amount for the first crossing and the qualifying return crossing. It does not mean ₹75 is charged on each passage.
- First crossing: ₹50
- Eligible return component: ₹25
- Total for both eligible crossings: ₹75
Use the same active FASTag for both passages. If the return does not qualify under the applicable return-journey rule, the second crossing may be charged as a fresh single journey.
Keep both FASTag transaction messages until the trip is complete.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
For FY 2026–27, the listed local monthly pass is ₹360 for an eligible privately owned, non-commercial vehicle belonging to a person residing within 20 kilometres of Shanthigrama Toll Plaza.
Applicants may be required to provide:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Aadhaar card or another identity document
- Current residential-address proof
- Active FASTag linked to the vehicle
- Registered mobile number
- Completed local-pass application
The toll administration must verify the residence and vehicle before activating the concession.
The current tariff does not list a separate local-commercial vehicle rate, so commercial operators should confirm any applicable concession directly with the toll office.

Directions to Shanthigrama Toll Plaza

Travel west on NH 75 through Kunigal and the Channarayapatna side towards Hassan.
A through journey normally crosses Kirisave (Kadabhalli) Toll Plaza before reaching Shanthigrama.
3. From Channarayapatna
Join NH 75 towards Hassan. Continue west on the main highway. Kirisave and Shanthigrama are separate toll plazas on the wider Hassan–Devihalli corridor.
4. From Sakleshpur
Travel towards Hassan and then join NH 75 eastbound towards Bengaluru. Shanthigrama is reached after passing the Hassan side of the corridor.
5. From Mangaluru
Travel towards Hassan through the appropriate NH 75 route via the Western Ghats. After reaching the Hassan side, continue east towards Bengaluru.
Longer journeys can produce deductions at more than one plaza.
Shanthigrama and Kirisave Toll Plazas Are Different
Shanthigrama and Kirisave (Kadabhalli) are two separate toll plazas on the Hassan–Devihalli project stretch.
Shanthigrama is at Km 169.350, while Kirisave is at Km 119.100.
A Bengaluru-to-Hassan journey using the full NH 75 corridor can therefore generate valid FASTag deductions at both plazas.
Before reporting a duplicate charge, compare:
- Plaza name
- FASTag plaza code
- Amount deducted
- Transaction time
- Direction of travel
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is the standard payment method at Shanthigrama 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 vehicle registration number
- Shows the correct vehicle category
- Has completed the required verification
- Is not damaged, suspended or blacklisted
For a wrong or duplicate deduction, keep the transaction SMS or bank record and raise the issue through the FASTag-issuing bank, RajmargYatra or National Highway helpline 1033.
FASTag Annual Pass
The NHAI FASTag Annual Pass costs ₹3,075 for FY 2026–27.
It is available for eligible non-commercial cars, jeeps and vans with a valid FASTag at participating National Highway and National Expressway fee plazas.
The pass remains valid for one year from activation or 200 eligible crossings, whichever comes first. A return trip through the same eligible plaza normally counts as two crossings.
Before relying on the Annual Pass at Shanthigrama, confirm that the plaza appears in the current eligible-plaza list and that activation is complete on the vehicle’s existing FASTag.
