Manguli Toll Plaza Rates
The latest official NHTIS tariff currently retrievable for Bandalo (Old Manguli) is effective from April 1, 2025, to March 31, 2026. Current FASTag databases continue to display the same amounts. A newer official 2026-27 tariff could not be independently verified, so the table below reproduces the latest published schedule rather than estimating revised charges.
| Vehicle category | Single journey | Return journey | Monthly pass | Local commercial rate |
| Car, jeep or van | ₹150 | ₹225 | ₹5,050 | NA |
| Light commercial vehicle or minibus | ₹240 | ₹360 | ₹7,955 | NA |

Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
The ₹150 car toll applies to one crossing through Manguli Toll Plaza. The ₹225 return tariff covers one outward crossing and one eligible return crossing. It does not mean that ₹225 is charged during both passages.
A typical eligible FASTag transaction may appear as:
- First crossing: ₹150
- Eligible return crossing within the permitted period: ₹75
- Total charge for both crossings: ₹225
The same vehicle and FASTag should be used for both passages. If the return does not satisfy the applicable time conditions, the second crossing may be treated as another single journey.
Local Commercial Vehicle Rate
The published Manguli tariff shows the local-commercial column as NA for every vehicle category. Therefore, a commercial vehicle registered within Cuttack district should not assume that a separate reduced per-crossing commercial rate is available at this plaza.
If a local commercial operator has a concession under a specific agreement or revised tariff, it should be confirmed directly with the toll administration before travel.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
Eligible residents living within 20 kilometres of a National Highway fee plaza may apply for the applicable local-resident concession for a privately owned, non-commercial car, jeep or van, subject to verification.
For FY 2026-27, the commonly applicable local monthly-pass amount under the National Highway fee framework is ₹360. Applicants should confirm Manguli’s current implementation with the toll office before applying.
Documents normally requested include the vehicle registration certificate, identity proof, current residential-address proof, active FASTag details and a recent photograph.

Directions to Manguli Toll Plaza
1. From Cuttack
Travel north or northeast on NH 16 towards Jagatpur, Manguli, Tangi and Chandikhol. Continue past the Jagatpur side of Cuttack. Manguli Toll Plaza is reached near the Manguli-Tangi corridor.
2. From Bhubaneswar
Join NH 16 and travel north towards Cuttack and Chandikhol. Continue through the Bhubaneswar-Cuttack corridor, cross the Cuttack side of NH 16 and proceed towards Jagatpur and Manguli.
3. From Chandikhol
Travel south on NH 16 towards Tangi, Manguli, Cuttack and Bhubaneswar. Continue on the main six-lane carriageway and follow the toll-lane signs approaching Manguli.
4. From Dhenkanal or Angul
Travel towards Manguli junction using the appropriate NH 55 connection. At Manguli, join NH 16 according to the destination. Whether the toll plaza is crossed depends on the direction and highway entry point used.
5. From Paradeep
Travellers from Paradeep commonly approach the Cuttack-Chandikhol region through NH 53 and connecting roads. Depending on the chosen route, Srirampur Toll Plaza and Manguli Toll Plaza may both be encountered because they are on different highway sections.
Manguli, Panikholi and Srirampur Are Different Toll Plazas
Manguli Toll Plaza is on NH 16 near Cuttack. Panikholi Toll Plaza is farther north on the Chandikhol-Bhadrak section, while Srirampur Toll Plaza is on the Chandikhol-Paradeep corridor.
A long journey may therefore create separate FASTag deductions at two or more of these plazas. These deductions are not automatically duplicates.
When checking a disputed transaction, compare the exact plaza name, FASTag code, amount, date, time and direction of travel. Manguli’s plaza code is 148001.
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is the standard payment method at Manguli Toll Plaza. Before travelling, make sure the tag is active, has sufficient balance, is attached correctly to the windscreen and is linked to the correct vehicle registration number and category.
Maintain sufficient distance from the vehicle ahead while entering a toll lane. Close following behind buses or heavy trucks may interfere with scanning.
For an incorrect deduction, contact the FASTag-issuing bank, RajmargYatra, the toll control room or National Highway helpline 1033. Keep the transaction SMS and vehicle details while filing a complaint.
FASTag Annual Pass
The National Highway FASTag Annual Pass costs ₹3,075 for FY 2026-27. 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. Before relying on it at Manguli, confirm the plaza’s eligibility through RajmargYatra.
One unidirectional passage through an eligible toll plaza counts as one crossing, so an outward and return journey normally uses two crossings.

Traffic and Safety Tips
Manguli Toll Plaza is one of Odisha’s busier toll locations because NH 16 carries heavy passenger and freight traffic. Congestion may increase during weekends, festival travel, peak truck hours, road repairs and monsoon rain.
Choose the correct lane early, avoid sudden lane changes and maintain extra distance behind trucks and buses. Reduce speed during rain, fog, congestion or poor visibility.
Do not stop in an active toll lane or on the main carriageway except during a genuine emergency.
