Travel becomes expensive in UP: Toll tax increased on four expressways, new rates implemented

Lucknow. Now traveling on the expressway in Uttar Pradesh has become more expensive than before. With the beginning of the new financial year 2026-27, the government has implemented an increase in toll rates on the four major expressways of the state, Agra-Lucknow, Purvanchal, Bundelkhand and Gorakhpur link. These new rates have become effective from April 1, which will have a direct impact on everyone from common travelers to people associated with transport business.

Increased burden on vehicles of every category

The impact of the new toll rates is not limited to just cars or buses, but has been increased on all categories from two-wheelers to heavy vehicles. Although the rate of increase varies, overall drivers of all categories will now have to pay more than before.
