What changed on 10 September 2026?

The elevated expressway was built under a build-operate-transfer agreement signed in 2006 between NHAI and Bangalore Elevated Tollway Pvt Ltd (BETPL), with a concession of about 20 years including construction, News First reported in August 2026. It opened in 2010. When the concession ended on 10 September, NHAI took charge of the corridor and its toll plaza, according to Oneindia and LatestLY.

BETPL had asked to keep collecting tolls for longer, citing losses during COVID-19 (News First, August 2026). Later reports say NHAI has taken over, and we found no report of an extension being granted.

Electronic City flyover toll rates now

The latest revision took effect on 1 July 2026 and was set to stay in force until 30 June 2027 (News First). The single-trip rates did not change; multiple-journey and monthly pass rates went up.

  • Two-wheelers: ₹25 single trip, ₹40 multiple journey (daily), ₹785 monthly pass.
  • Cars, jeeps and vans: ₹65 single trip, ₹100 multiple journey, ₹1,960 monthly pass.
  • Light commercial vehicles: ₹90 single trip, ₹130 multiple journey.
  • Attibele plaza on NH-44 (also run by BETPL until the handover): car multiple-journey toll raised from ₹55 to ₹60.

Will two-wheelers stop paying toll?

Possibly. BETPL collected tolls under the 1997 toll policy. A senior NHAI official told reporters that, since NHAI has taken over, toll has to be collected under the 2008 policy, under which two-wheelers do not pay on national highway stretches. More than 25,000 two-wheelers use the corridor daily and the plaza records over 30,000 two-wheeler transactions a day, according to Oneindia.

The same reports say a formal decision is awaited, that car and bus tolls may be revised slightly upwards under the new policy, and that NHAI is studying a multi-lane free-flow system that charges vehicles electronically without stopping. The plaza is not expected to be removed immediately. Commuters have also pointed out that the Electronic City and Attibele plazas are only about 14 km apart.

Are two-wheelers banned on the Electronic City flyover?

No, not at present. On 31 August 2026 Bengaluru Traffic Police announced restrictions on five elevated roads on safety grounds. For the Electronic City corridor, two-wheelers, passenger autos and goods autos were to be barred round the clock from 11 September, with all goods vehicles barred from 6 am to 10 pm (The South First, The News Minute).

On 9 and 10 September the government paused the two-wheeler restriction on the Electronic City and airport road corridors after congestion built up on the service roads below the airport road flyover. Home Minister Priyank Kharge said the ban would not be enforced immediately and any restrictions would come in phases after study (News First). Asianet Newsable reported that goods-vehicle restrictions on the Electronic City flyover from 11 September would go ahead, while two-wheelers would continue to be allowed. Riders on the restricted corridors have been advised to keep left and stay within 60 km/h.

Rules on Bengaluru's other elevated roads

The September order covered five structures. On three of them the restrictions did take effect, and the government said traffic moved relatively smoothly there after the change (News First). If your commute uses any of these, the rules below, as announced on 31 August 2026, are the ones to know.

Worked example: what the flyover costs a daily commuter

Take a resident of Electronic City who commutes to Koramangala on 22 working days a month, using the flyover both ways.

  • Two-wheeler on single trips: ₹25 x 2 x 22 = ₹1,100 a month.
  • Two-wheeler on the daily multiple-journey rate: ₹40 x 22 = ₹880 a month.
  • Two-wheeler on the monthly pass: ₹785 a month, or ₹785 x 12 = ₹9,420 a year. If the exemption is confirmed, this cost falls to zero.
  • Car on the daily multiple-journey rate: ₹100 x 22 = ₹2,200 a month. Car on the monthly pass: ₹1,960 a month, or ₹23,520 a year.

What it means for buyers in Electronic City

For a household with one car commuter, the flyover adds about ₹23,500 a year at current pass rates. That is a real running cost, but small next to EMI differences between localities. The bigger change for Electronic City has been the Yellow Line metro, which runs along Hosur Road; see Yellow Line One Year On: What Changed for Electronic City and Bommasandra Homes.

How to keep your toll costs low until NHAI decides

Until a new notice is issued, the July 2026 rate card applies. A few simple choices change what you pay.

  • If you cross the flyover twice on most working days, the monthly pass is cheaper than paying per trip. For a car, 22 days of round trips on the daily rate cost ₹2,200 against a ₹1,960 pass.
  • If you use it only two or three days a week, pay per trip or use the daily multiple-journey rate instead of buying a pass.
  • Before renewing a two-wheeler monthly pass, check for an NHAI notice on the exemption. If two-wheelers are exempted, a pass bought just before would be wasted money.
  • Keep an eye on any move to free-flow tolling. It would change how you are charged, not necessarily how much.
