Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway Toll Prices Hiked Again: How Much More Will You Pay?

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has implemented a 3-5% toll hike on the Mysuru-Bengaluru access-controlled Highway, marking the third revision since its inauguration in February 2023. The new rates came into effect at midnight on April 1, 2025, impacting toll plazas at Gananguru, Kaniminike, and Sheshagirihalli as part of the annual inflation-linked revision under the National Highways Fee Rules, 2008.

New Toll Collection System

Currently, tolls are collected at two plazas, but NHAI plans to introduce multiple booths at entry and exit points, allowing motorists to pay based on distance traveled. Over 80,000 vehicles use the highway daily, and the revised rates affect both private and commercial vehicles.
