Shedung Toll Plaza is an important toll collection point on National Highway 48 near Panvel in Raigad district, Maharashtra. It serves vehicles travelling between Panvel, Shedung, Chowk, Khalapur, Khopoli, Lonavala and Pune through the old Mumbai–Pune highway.
The plaza is officially listed as Shedung NH48 Toll Plaza or Shedung Close Loop Toll Plaza. Older records may refer to the road as NH 4, while its current highway number is NH 48.
Unlike an ordinary open toll plaza, Shedung operates under a close-loop toll arrangement. The amount deducted is connected to the route used, vehicle category and entry or exit point. Therefore, travellers should not expect one fixed Shedung toll amount for every journey.

Shedung Toll Plaza Rates
Shedung does not have one publicly displayed flat toll suitable for every journey. The toll is calculated through the close-loop system according to the section travelled.
| Vehicle category | Single journey | Return journey | Monthly pass |
| Car, jeep or van | Depends on entry and exit points | No universal flat rate | Contact toll administration |
| Light commercial vehicle or minibus | Depends on route used | Route-dependent | Contact toll administration |
| Bus or two-axle truck | Depends on route used | Route-dependent | Contact toll administration |
| Three-axle commercial vehicle | Depends on route used | Route-dependent | Contact toll administration |
| Four-to-six-axle vehicle | Depends on route used | Route-dependent | Contact toll administration |
| Seven-or-more-axle vehicle | Depends on route used | Route-dependent | Contact toll administration |
The toll amount for a car travelling only between Panvel and Shedung may be different from the amount charged for travel towards Khalapur, Khopoli, Lonavala or Pune.
This is why an article showing one fixed car rate for Shedung can be misleading. The actual FASTag deduction should be checked against the vehicle’s starting point, destination and connected toll transaction.
How the Close-Loop Toll System Works
In a close-loop system, the road has several connected toll points or entry and exit locations. The charge is assessed for the highway section used rather than only for crossing one physical booth.
The Mumbai–Pune NH48 corridor includes toll facilities such as:
- Shedung
- Shilphata
- Kusgaon
- Dehu Road
- Other authorised entry or exit connections
A FASTag transaction may appear under Shedung even when the amount relates to a broader journey on the connected highway section.
Drivers should check:
- The toll-plaza name in the message
- The transaction date and time
- The amount deducted
- The direction of travel
- Any earlier or later connected toll transaction
- Whether the same journey was charged twice
A deduction at Shedung followed by another deduction at a connected plaza is not automatically an error. However, the total should match the route and vehicle category.
Return Journey and Same-Day Travel
Shedung does not follow the simple return-rate table commonly used at many NHAI open toll plazas.
A return journey may be assessed according to the two route movements recorded by the close-loop system. The charge can depend on where the vehicle entered, where it exited and whether both movements were correctly recognised.
Drivers should not assume that returning within 24 hours will always produce a fixed discounted amount.
Use the same FASTag during both journeys and keep the transaction messages. If the second deduction appears incorrect, raise a dispute through the FASTag-issuing bank with details of both crossings.
Monthly Pass and Local Concession
Discounted monthly-pass facilities may be available for eligible residents living near Shedung Toll Plaza. However, one current public monthly-pass price suitable for every resident and journey could not be verified.
Eligibility may depend on:
- Distance of residence from the toll plaza
- Vehicle registration details
- Private or commercial use
- Route travelled regularly
- FASTag status
- Documents accepted by the toll administration
Applicants may be asked to provide:
- Vehicle registration certificate
- Aadhaar card or another identity document
- Residential-address proof
- Active FASTag linked to the vehicle
- Registered mobile number
- Recent photograph
- Local-pass application form
The toll administration must verify the application before activating a concession. Living in Panvel or having a Raigad registration number does not automatically activate a local pass.

Shedung NH48 and Expressway Toll Are Different
Shedung NH48 Toll Plaza is situated on the old Mumbai–Pune highway. It should not be confused with the main Khalapur and Talegaon toll points on the Mumbai–Pune Expressway.
The two routes are different:
| Route | Main identification |
| Old Mumbai–Pune highway | NH 48, formerly NH 4 |
| Mumbai–Pune Expressway | Yashwantrao Chavan Expressway |
Navigation applications commonly select the expressway because it is usually faster. Drivers intending to use Shedung NH48 should check the complete route before starting.
A FASTag message containing “Shedung YCEW,” “Shedung MPEW,” “Shedung Panvel Bypass” or another similar name may refer to a different connected toll facility. Check the plaza code when investigating a deduction.
Directions to Shedung Toll Plaza
1. From Mumbai or Navi Mumbai
Travel towards Panvel using the Sion–Panvel Highway or another suitable Navi Mumbai route.
Continue towards Kalamboli and Panvel. Select NH 48 towards Shedung, Chowk, Khalapur and Pune rather than entering the Mumbai–Pune Expressway.
Follow signs for the old Mumbai–Pune highway and Shedung.
2. From Panvel
Join NH 48 towards Pune, Chowk, Khalapur and Khopoli.
Continue southeast from Panvel. The toll plaza is located near Shedung village and the university area.
3. From Khalapur or Khopoli
Travel west on NH 48 towards Chowk, Shedung and Panvel.
Remain on the old highway and follow signs for Shedung Toll Plaza. Do not enter the Mumbai–Pune Expressway unless the destination or navigation route requires it.
4. From Lonavala
Use the old Mumbai–Pune highway through Khandala and Khopoli.
Continue towards Khalapur, Chowk, Shedung and Panvel. The old highway includes local junctions, slower traffic and additional roadside development compared with the expressway.
5. From Pune
Join NH 48 through the old Mumbai–Pune route towards Dehu Road, Talegaon, Lonavala, Khopoli and Panvel.
Drivers should deliberately select the old highway because most navigation applications may otherwise direct them onto the Mumbai–Pune Expressway.
FASTag and Payment Details
FASTag is the main electronic payment method at Shedung Toll Plaza. Before travelling, ensure that the tag:
- Is active and has sufficient balance
- Is correctly fixed to the windscreen
- Is linked to the correct registration number
- Shows the correct vehicle category
- Is not damaged, suspended or blacklisted
Maintain adequate distance from the vehicle ahead so that the scanner can identify each FASTag separately.
Keep the transaction message until the journey is complete. For an incorrect deduction, contact the FASTag-issuing bank and provide the plaza name, transaction number, vehicle registration and journey details.
FASTag Annual Pass
The FASTag Annual Pass is available only for eligible private, non-commercial cars, jeeps and vans at approved National Highway and National Expressway plazas.
Because Shedung uses a special close-loop concession arrangement, motorists should check the current eligible-plaza list in RajmargYatra before purchasing or relying on the annual pass.
Do not assume that the annual pass automatically covers every Shedung, Panvel bypass or Mumbai–Pune corridor transaction.

Traffic and Safety Tips
Shedung Toll Plaza can experience congestion during:
- Friday and Saturday evenings
- Sunday return traffic
- Long weekends
- Festival holidays
- Mumbai–Pune Expressway diversions
- Heavy monsoon rainfall

Choose the correct lane early and avoid sudden lane changes near the toll booths.

During the monsoon, reduce speed because heavy rain, poor visibility and water accumulation can affect the route. Traffic may also increase when vehicles are diverted from the Mumbai–Pune Expressway.
