Dhilwan Toll Plaza is an important National Highway fee-collection point on NH 3 in Kapurthala district, Punjab. It lies on the busy Jalandhar-Amritsar corridor near Dhilwan and carries a large volume of private, commercial and interstate traffic.
The plaza serves vehicles travelling between Jalandhar, Kartarpur, Dhilwan, Beas, Rayya, Amritsar and destinations farther towards the India-Pakistan border corridor. It is also used by traffic approaching Kapurthala from the NH 3 side.
Older NHAI tender and toll records identify this stretch as NH 1 and place Dhilwan Fee Plaza around Km 410.140-410.180. Current FASTag databases identify the same plaza on renumbered NH 3 at chainage 200.100. FASTag statements normally show Dhilwan or plaza code 41001.

A private car, jeep or van pays ₹70 for one crossing through Dhilwan Toll Plaza.
An eligible outward and return journey costs ₹105 when the same vehicle returns through the plaza within the applicable return period using the same active FASTag.
The standard monthly pass for a car, jeep or van costs ₹2,310. It is different from the concessional local-resident monthly pass.
Single and Return-Journey Charges Explained
The ₹70 car toll applies to one passage through Dhilwan Toll Plaza.
The ₹105 return tariff covers one outward crossing and one eligible return crossing. It does not mean that ₹105 is charged during each passage.
A typical FASTag deduction may appear as:
- First crossing: ₹70
- Eligible return crossing: ₹35
- Total charge for both crossings: ₹105
The same vehicle and active 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 Rates
Reduced single-journey rates are published for eligible commercial vehicles registered within the district of the toll plaza.
A qualifying local commercial car, jeep or van may pay ₹35 instead of the normal ₹70 single-journey charge.
The listed local-commercial rates are:
- Car, jeep or van: ₹35
- Light commercial vehicle or minibus: ₹55
- Bus or two-axle truck: ₹115
- Vehicle with up to three axles: ₹130
- Four-to-six-axle vehicle: ₹185
- Heavy construction or earth-moving equipment: ₹185
- Vehicle with seven or more axles: ₹225
District registration alone may not automatically activate the concession.
The operator may require the registration certificate, commercial permit, local residential or business-address proof and active FASTag details.
Local Resident Monthly Pass
A person living within 20 kilometres of Dhilwan Toll Plaza may apply for a concessional monthly pass for a privately owned, non-commercial car, jeep or van.
The published local monthly-pass charge for FY 2026–27 is:
₹350 per month
Applicants may be asked for the vehicle registration certificate, identity proof, current residential-address proof, active FASTag details, registered mobile number and a recent photograph.
The toll administration must verify that the residence falls within the prescribed 20-kilometre limit.

Why Some Records Show NH 1 and a Different Chainage
Older NHAI records and a 2026 toll-collection tender describe Dhilwan Fee Plaza at about Km 410.140 on NH 1.
Current FASTag databases identify the same facility on the renumbered NH 3 corridor at chainage 200.100.
These are not two different toll plazas.

- Dhilwan Fee Plaza

Dhilwan and Nijjarpura Are Different Toll Plazas
Dhilwan Toll Plaza and Nijjarpura Toll Plaza are separate fee plazas on the wider Amritsar-Jalandhar region.
A longer journey can therefore create separate FASTag deductions depending on the route used.
These deductions are not automatically duplicate transactions.
When checking a disputed deduction, compare:
- Exact plaza name
- FASTag plaza code
- Toll amount
- Transaction date and time
- Direction of travel
- Vehicle registration number
Dhilwan uses plaza code 41001.
