It serves vehicles travelling between Nashik, Ozar, Pimpalgaon Baswant, Chandwad, Malegaon and destinations farther north on the Mumbai–Agra corridor.

Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
The ₹350 car return tariff is the combined amount for two eligible crossings. A typical FASTag transaction may therefore appear as:
- First crossing: ₹235
- Eligible return component: ₹115
- Total for the outward and return movement: ₹350
Use the same active FASTag for both crossings. If the return does not qualify under the applicable return-journey rule, the second passage may be charged as a fresh single journey.
Keep both FASTag messages until the trip is complete.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
For FY 2026–27, the listed monthly pass for an eligible privately owned, non-commercial vehicle belonging to a resident living within 20 kilometres of the toll plaza is ₹350.
Applicants 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
- Completed local-pass application
The toll administration must verify the residence and vehicle before activating the concession. A Nashik district registration number alone does not automatically qualify a vehicle for the local pass.

Directions to Baswant Toll Plaza
1. From Nashik
Travel north on the Pimpalgaon–Nashik corridor towards Ozar and Pimpalgaon Baswant. Continue on NH 160 and follow the toll-plaza signs approaching Pimpalgaon.
2. From Ozar
Join NH 160 towards Pimpalgaon Baswant and continue north. Keep to the main highway and select the correct FASTag lane early.
3. From Pimpalgaon Baswant
Use the authorised local highway connection to NH 160. Whether a short local trip crosses the plaza depends on the exact entry point and destination.
4. From Chandwad or Malegaon
Travel south towards Pimpalgaon Baswant and Nashik. Longer journeys may cross another toll plaza before reaching Baswant, so check each FASTag transaction separately.

Baswant and Chandwad Toll Plazas Are Different
Baswant and Chandwad are separate fee plazas on different highway sections.
A longer Nashik-to-Malegaon or Nashik-to-Dhule journey can therefore produce more than one valid FASTag deduction.
Before reporting a duplicate charge, compare:
- Plaza name
- FASTag plaza code
- Amount deducted
- Transaction date and time
- Direction of travel
