The long-awaited toll collection on the Dwarka Expressway has officially begun, marking a new chapter for daily commuters between Delhi and Gurugram. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has introduced several toll pass options, including a special concession for locals residing within 20 km of the toll plaza.
Toll and Pass Rates
- One-way toll for cars: ₹220
- Return trip toll: ₹330
- Monthly pass (50 trips): ₹7,360
- Local monthly pass (within 20 km): ₹340
- Annual pass: ₹3,000
The ₹340 local pass is a major relief for residents of areas like Bijwasan, Palam, Dwarka, and Kapashera, who cross the expressway daily for work or errands. To apply, users need to show proof of residence within the 20 km radius along with vehicle RC and ID proof.
Ease for Regular Commuters
This initiative aims to reduce long queues and repeated payments for those frequently traveling on the expressway. With toll booths now operational, commuters are already lining up to get their passes processed.
Documents Required for Monthly Pass
If you’re planning to apply for your pass, make sure you carry the following three essential documents:
- Vehicle RC Copy (registration certificate of the vehicle)
- Aadhaar Card Copy (for identity verification)
- Address Proof – such as Voter ID, Electricity Bill, or any other valid residential proof showing your address within the 20 km limit.
Once submitted, the toll staff verifies your documents and issues the pass within a short processing period.
Who Qualifies & Why It Matters
The local monthly pass at ₹340 is a game-changer for daily commuters with their vehicle registered and residing within a 20 km radius of the Bijwasan or Kherki Daula Toll Plaza. This means far less toll stress for people who cross the expressway every day for work, school or errands.
By offering such concessional passes, NHAI aims to reduce waiting lines, ease traffic flow and ensure that frequent local users don’t bear the full brunt of toll charges meant for long-distance users.
Final Word
For your daily ride via the Dwarka Expressway, getting the right pass could save you significant money and hassle. If you’re within the 20 km zone and commuting often, the ₹340 monthly pass is the smart pick. For less frequent users, the 50-trip monthly or the annual pass could make sense.
