The dream of traveling from Delhi to Dehradun in 2 to 2.5 hours instead of 5-6 hours is soon to become a reality. The Delhi-Dehradun Expressway, which people have been waiting for for years, will make the journey incredibly fast and comfortable. However, this superfast journey will come at a price. Those traveling by car on the expressway may have to pay a significant amount in toll tax, a fact that has raised concerns among ordinary travelers.
According to media reports, traveling from Delhi to Dehradun by car could cost around ₹670 in toll tax. Although the entire expressway is not yet operational, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has already prepared a proposal for the toll charges. Officials say that these proposed toll rates will be implemented as soon as the expressway is fully opened to the public.

A sigh of relief
The good news is that there will be no toll charges for traveling from Delhi to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway (EPE) near Baghpat for the time being. This means that travelers using only this section will not have to bear any extra cost. However, those traveling the entire route to Dehradun will have to pay toll tax.
Delhi-Dehradun Expressway Route
The Delhi-Dehradun Expressway starts near Akshardham Temple and will pass through Loni, Baghpat, Muzaffarnagar, Shamli, and Saharanpur before reaching Dehradun. Currently, a 31.6-kilometer section from Akshardham to Mavikalan near Baghpat on the EPE has been opened for trial, allowing drivers to experience the expressway.
5 Toll Plazas on the Expressway
A total of five toll plazas are being constructed along the entire expressway, and 12 interchanges have also been built for the convenience of travelers. These interchanges will provide easy entry and exit points to and from the expressway for nearby cities and towns.
