India
Toll rates on key Pune highways just went up by 3% to 5% starting April 1, 2026.
If you're driving through spots like Khed Shivapur, expect to pay ₹125 one way or ₹185 for a round trip.
The change affects major routes including Pune-Satara and Pune-Kolhapur.
NHAI mandates FASTag on Pune highways
NHAI says the hike is part of its yearly update for inflation and road upkeep.
Plus, using FASTag or digital payments is now a must. Skip it, and you'll have to pay double.
Some commuters like Aadesh Singh are worried about higher travel costs, while transporters say this could push up prices for everyone.
On the bright side, locals can still get concessional passes.
