Dasna Toll Plaza is an electronic tolling point on the Delhi–Meerut Expressway in Ghaziabad district, Uttar Pradesh. It serves vehicles travelling between Delhi, Ghaziabad, Dasna, Meerut, Hapur and nearby parts of western Uttar Pradesh.
The facility is officially listed as Dasna DME Close Loop Toll. Unlike a traditional toll plaza that charges one fixed amount, the Delhi–Meerut Expressway uses a closed tolling system. FASTag readers and cameras record where a vehicle enters and exits, and the toll is calculated according to the distance travelled. Dasna is one of the seven recognised entry and exit points on the expressway.

Dasna Toll Plaza Rates
The toll depends on the entry and exit points used. Therefore, there is no single Dasna toll amount applicable to every vehicle crossing the interchange.
For a car, jeep, van or other eligible light motor vehicle, the revised Dasna-to-Meerut toll is ₹80 for one journey and ₹120 for an eligible return journey. The rates became effective on April 1, 2026.
Car Toll Rates to Meerut
| Starting or exit point | One-way charge | Return charge |
| Sarai Kale Khan | ₹175 | ₹265 |
| Indirapuram | ₹120 | ₹180 |
| Dundahera | ₹95 | ₹140 |
| Dasna | ₹80 | ₹120 |
| Rasoolpur Sikrod | ₹60 | ₹85 |
| Bhojpur | ₹25 | ₹40 |
The return tariff generally applies when the outward and return journeys are completed within the permitted period. The amount charged may differ when a vehicle enters or leaves through another interchange because the system calculates the actual section travelled.
For the complete Sarai Kale Khan–Meerut journey, the revised one-way charge is ₹285 for light commercial vehicles and minibuses, ₹595 for buses or two-axle trucks, ₹930 for vehicles with four to six axles and ₹1,130 for vehicles with seven or more axles.
How Closed-Loop Tolling Works
A vehicle’s FASTag is read when it enters the Delhi–Meerut Expressway. The tag is scanned again when the vehicle leaves through Dasna, Bhojpur, Rasoolpur Sikrod, Kashi or another authorised exit.
The system then calculates the toll for the section used. Cameras installed at entry and exit points work with FASTag readers to identify the vehicle and journey. This is why drivers should not compare a Dasna deduction directly with the full Delhi-to-Meerut toll.

Directions to Dasna Toll Plaza
1. From Delhi
Enter the Delhi–Meerut Expressway from Sarai Kale Khan and continue through the Ghazipur, Indirapuram and Ghaziabad sections. Follow the overhead signs towards Dasna and Meerut. Stay in the expressway lanes when continuing towards Meerut.
2. From Ghaziabad
Use NH 9 or an authorised city connection towards Dasna. Drivers coming from Govindpuram, Wave City or Crossings Republik should follow live navigation because entry arrangements and traffic movements can change near the DME–NH 9 junction.
3. From Meerut
Travel southwest on the Delhi–Meerut Expressway towards Delhi and Ghaziabad. Use the Dasna exit when travelling towards Hapur Road, Dasna town, Masuri or adjoining Ghaziabad areas.
4. From Hapur
Travel west on NH 9 towards Pilkhuwa, Dasna and Ghaziabad. Follow the signs carefully when approaching Dasna, as the expressway, NH 9 and local traffic streams merge in this area.
5. From Noida or Greater Noida
Travel towards Ghaziabad and join NH 9 or the Delhi–Meerut Expressway through an authorised entry point. Vehicles using the Eastern Peripheral Expressway should take the correct Dasna interchange exit.
FASTag and Payment Information
Toll collection on the Delhi–Meerut Expressway is fully digital. Payments are accepted through FASTag or UPI, while ordinary cash payment has been discontinued. Drivers should ensure that their FASTag is active, properly fixed to the windscreen and linked to the correct vehicle registration number.
Maintain sufficient balance and do not change lanes suddenly near the scanner. An unreadable or incorrectly classified FASTag may lead to a failed or incorrect deduction.
Traffic and Travel Tips
Dasna is a busy merging and diverging point for DME and NH 9 traffic. The corridor carries around three lakh vehicles a day on NH 9 and more than 60,000 vehicles on the expressway near this junction. NHAI has planned lane and U-turn improvements to reduce recurring congestion.
Check live traffic before travelling, especially during office hours, weekends, fog, religious processions and festival periods.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Is Dasna DME Toll the same as Dasna EPE Toll?
A: No. Dasna DME Toll belongs to the Delhi–Meerut Expressway system. Dasna EPE Toll is a separate closed-loop point on the Eastern Peripheral Expressway. Separate deductions may apply when both expressways are used.
Q: Are motorcycles allowed on the Delhi–Meerut Expressway at Dasna?
A: Two-wheelers should use the adjoining NH 9 lanes instead of the access-controlled DME lanes. NH 9 carries motorcycles and other vehicle categories that are not permitted on the main expressway carriageway.
Q: Can the FASTag Annual Pass be used at Dasna?
A: Eligible private, non-commercial cars, jeeps and vans can check Dasna’s coverage through RajmargYatra. The pass costs ₹3,075 for 2026–27 and remains valid for one year or 200 crossings. In a closed toll system, a valid entry-and-exit pair is counted as one crossing.
Q: Why was I charged more than ₹80 at Dasna?
A: ₹80 is the car toll for the Dasna–Meerut section. A higher charge may apply when the vehicle entered the expressway at Sarai Kale Khan, Indirapuram or Dundahera before leaving at Meerut.
Q: What should I do after an incorrect FASTag deduction?
A: Keep the transaction message and note the entry point, exit point, time and vehicle number. Raise a dispute with the FASTag-issuing bank. Unresolved toll complaints or highway emergencies can be reported through 1033.
