Drivers on the Noida International Airport link road will not need to stop at toll booths, but will still pay the fee automatically. The barrier-free facility at Karauli Bangar in Jewar uses multi-lane free-flow collection with ANPR cameras reading number plates and FASTag handling electronic deduction. NHAI is building the toll point on the expressway link connecting the airport to the Delhi, Mumbai Expressway corridor.
The December target for linking the road to the Eastern Peripheral Expressway is not a confirmed opening date, and the airport-to-Mohna stretch will open only after the link is completed. NHAI advises drivers to keep their FASTag active, adequately funded and correctly affixed, with a clear number plate. Failed payments trigger an e-notice, and fees double if unpaid after 72 hours.
Indian Opinion Analysis
This multi-lane free-flow tolling system, already piloted on stretches like the Delhi-Meerut Expressway, removes physical booths to cut congestion at plaza approaches. The Karauli Bangar location sits at a junction where the airport link meets the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway corridor, a route expected to see heavy truck and passenger traffic once the airport opens. Under NHAI's MLFF framework, vehicles without valid FASTags or with obscured plates face escalating penalties after a 72-hour grace period. The December timeline for the link remains provisional, dependent on land acquisition and construction milestones that have slipped before on major NHAI projects.
