Travel on highways in Bihar will become more expensive as the toll fee increased on national highway in Bihar for several types of vehicles. The revised rates will apply from midnight on March 31 for the new financial year 2026–27.
Officials said the toll fee increased on national highway in Bihar by around 3% to 6%. Different rates now apply for cars, commercial vehicles, buses, and trucks. Smaller vehicles will pay about ₹5 more, while commercial vehicles may pay up to ₹45 extra depending on the category.
At the Didarganj toll plaza on the Patna–Bakhtiyarpur highway, the toll for cars will rise from ₹135 to ₹140. Light commercial vehicles will pay ₹215 instead of ₹205. Buses and trucks will now pay ₹435 instead of ₹410.

Officials added that about 12,000 vehicles currently pass through the Didarganj toll plaza every day after traffic dropped following the construction of Patna Marine Drive.
