Driving on Yamuna Expressway will be costlier as the toll charges are hiked by Yamuna Expressway Industrial Development Authority from Thursday.

Yamuna Expressway or Taj Expressway is a 6-path wide (expandable to 8) and 165.5 km long access-controlled expressway in Uttar Pradesh. It is as of now India's third longest expressway since February 2017. It was built to de-block the more seasoned Delhi-Agra national highway(NH-2) or Mathura Road.

The Yamuna expressway was conceived with the idea of reducing the travel time between Delhi NCR and Agra. 

Buses and trucks on the expressway will have to pay 8.45 rather than 7.90 per kilometer. For vehicles with three to six axles, the roll has been climbed to 12.90 per kilometer from the past pace of 12.05.

As per the new hike, the rate of toll for car, jeep, van and light engine vehicles has been hiked from 2.50 per kilometer to 2.65 kilometer. For light commercial vehicle, light goods vehicle or small transports, it has been climbed from 3.90 per kilometer to 4.15 per kilometer

The new rates are applicable between Greater Noida, the beginning point in the Gautam Buddha Nagar region, and Agra. 

The toll rates of the Yamuna Expressway were last increased in 2021.
