A private car, jeep or van pays ₹170 for one passage through Chandwad Toll Plaza.
The current tariff does not separately list a discounted return-journey amount or a standard monthly-pass amount. Drivers should therefore check the actual FASTag deduction for each crossing rather than assuming a return discount.
Why Return and Monthly Rates Are Not Shown
Chandwad operates under an older toll framework. The current tariff listing publishes a single-journey charge and a reduced local-commercial charge, but return-journey and standard monthly-pass amounts are shown as not available.
A traveller should not assume that two crossings will automatically receive a discounted combined rate. Check each FASTag transaction message.
Frequent users should contact the toll office before relying on any concession or locally available pass.
Local Commercial Vehicle Rates
Reduced single-crossing charges are listed for eligible commercial vehicles registered within the district of the toll plaza.
The listed local-commercial rates are:
- Commercial car, jeep or van: ₹40
- Light commercial vehicle or minibus: ₹75
- Bus or two-axle truck: ₹150
- Three-axle and heavier categories: ₹240
A Nashik district registration number alone may not activate the concession.
The operator may be asked for:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Valid commercial permit
- Local business or residential-address proof
- Active FASTag details
- Proof of regular local operation
- Completed concession application
The concession normally becomes usable only after verification and FASTag mapping.
Local Resident and Frequent-User Concessions
The current Chandwad tariff does not separately publish a standard local-resident monthly-pass amount.
Nearby residents who cross the plaza regularly should contact the toll office to confirm whether a local-personal or frequent-user concession is currently available.
Keep the vehicle registration certificate, identity proof, current residential-address proof and active FASTag details ready when making an application.
Do not rely on a concession amount quoted for a different toll plaza because Chandwad follows its own applicable project tariff.

Directions to Chandwad Toll Plaza
1. From Nashik
Travel northeast on NH 60 towards Pimpalgaon Baswant, Chandwad, Malegaon and Dhule.
Continue on the main highway towards Chandwad. The toll plaza is located on the Pimpalgaon-Dhule project corridor.
2. From Pimpalgaon Baswant
Join NH 60 towards Chandwad, Malegaon and Dhule.
Remain on the main carriageway and follow the toll-lane signs while approaching Chandwad.
3. From Malegaon
Travel southwest on NH 60 towards Chandwad and Nashik.
Continue on the main Mumbai-Agra highway corridor. Chandwad Toll Plaza is reached before completing the journey towards Nashik.
4. From Dhule
Travel south or southwest on NH 60 towards Malegaon, Chandwad and Nashik.
A longer Dhule-to-Nashik journey may cross Laling Toll Plaza and Chandwad Toll Plaza because they are separate facilities on different portions of the corridor.
5. From Manmad
Use the appropriate road connection from Manmad towards Chandwad and join NH 60.
Whether the toll plaza is crossed depends on the exact junction used and the final direction of travel.
Chandwad and Laling Are Different Toll Plazas
Chandwad Toll Plaza and Laling Toll Plaza are separate toll facilities on the wider Nashik-Dhule highway corridor.
Chandwad is in Nashik district, while Laling is closer to Dhule.
A long journey may therefore create separate FASTag deductions at both plazas. These are not automatically duplicate deductions.
When checking a suspected incorrect deduction, compare:
- Exact plaza name
- FASTag plaza code
- Toll amount
- Transaction date and time
- Direction of travel
- Vehicle registration number
Chandwad Toll Plaza’s FASTag code is 140001.
FASTag and Payment Information
FASTag is the standard payment method at Chandwad Toll Plaza.
Before travelling, make sure the FASTag:
- Is active
- Has sufficient balance
- Is attached properly to the windscreen
- Is linked to the correct registration number
- Shows the correct vehicle category
- Has completed the required verification
- Is not suspended or blacklisted
Maintain enough distance from the vehicle ahead when entering a toll lane. Close following behind buses or trucks can interfere with scanning.
For an incorrect deduction, contact:
- FASTag-issuing bank
- RajmargYatra
- Toll-plaza manager
- National Highway helpline 1033
Keep the transaction SMS, vehicle number, date, time, amount and plaza name 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 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 fee-plaza crossings,
whichever occurs first.
Before relying on the Annual Pass at Chandwad, confirm the plaza’s current eligibility through RajmargYatra or the NHAI Annual Pass facility.
The Annual Pass is linked to the vehicle’s existing FASTag and cannot be transferred to another vehicle.
