Planning to drive from Delhi to Agra? You’ll probably use the Yamuna Expressway after crossing Noida and Greater Noida.

The first thing many travelers want to know is simple: where are the Yamuna Expressway toll plazas, and how much will the journey cost?

The 165.5-km Yamuna Expressway connects Greater Noida with Agra. Along the route, there are 3 main toll plazas around Jewar, Mathura and Agra.

Here’s what you need to know before you leave Delhi, including Yamuna Expressway toll charges, FASTag, toll plaza locations and the Delhi to Agra toll price.

Travel note: Toll rates can change. The amounts below are useful for trip planning, but check the applicable rate before your journey.

Yamuna Expressway toll plaza locations

There are 3 main toll plazas on the Yamuna Expressway.

Toll plaza	Approx. location	Approx. distance from Greater Noida
Jewar toll plaza	Jewar area	Km 38
Mathura toll plaza	Mathura area	Km 95
Agra toll plaza	Near Agra	Km 150

So if you’re driving from Greater Noida towards Agra, the route broadly runs:

Greater Noida → Jewar → Mathura → Agra

The full expressway is about 165.5 km long.

Where is the Jewar toll plaza?

The Jewar toll plaza is around Km 38 from the Greater Noida side of the Yamuna Expressway.

This is the toll location you’ll often see mentioned in searches for Jewar toll, especially because Jewar is also associated with the Noida International Airport area.

If you’re coming from Delhi, remember that reaching Jewar means you’ve already travelled through the Delhi-NCR road network before entering this section of the expressway.

Yamuna Expressway toll charges 2026

The exact amount depends on your vehicle category.

A currently published reference gives the following approximate full-journey charges for the Greater Noida to Agra section:

Vehicle type	Approx. one-way toll
Car / Jeep / Van	₹438
Light Commercial Vehicle / Mini-bus	₹687
Bus / Truck	₹1,399
Multi-axle vehicle	₹2,135
Heavy vehicle	₹3,111
Two-wheeler / Three-wheeler	₹207

These figures are for planning. Your actual Yamuna Expressway toll charges should be checked against the latest applicable rate for your vehicle.

How much is the Yamuna Expressway toll for a car?

For a car, jeep or van, the currently published full Greater Noida to Agra reference is around ₹438 one way.

That figure covers the Yamuna Expressway portion. Your complete Delhi to Agra road cost can be higher because you still have the journey from Delhi to Greater Noida, plus fuel, parking and any other applicable expenses.

Yamuna Expressway toll price by vehicle

The toll isn’t the same for every vehicle.

A small private car and a heavy commercial vehicle use the same road but fall into different toll categories.

For a normal Delhi to Agra tourist trip by private car, the figure most travelers need for planning is the car category.

For commercial vehicles, buses and trucks, check the vehicle classification before calculating the trip cost.

Delhi to Agra toll price via Yamuna Expressway

This is where travelers sometimes get confused.

The Yamuna Expressway starts from the Greater Noida side. So when someone searches for Delhi to Agra toll price, they’re asking about the complete road journey, while the expressway itself has its own toll charge.

A simple way to budget is:

Delhi to Agra road cost = Yamuna Expressway toll + fuel + parking + other applicable road charges

For a car, you can use the current approximately ₹438 expressway toll as the starting point for your calculation.

Your exact total depends on where you start in Delhi and where you finish in Agra.

How many toll plazas are on the Yamuna Expressway?

There are 3 main toll plazas on the Yamuna Expressway:

1. Jewar, around Km 38
2. Mathura, around Km 95
3. Agra, around Km 150

You may see websites referring specifically to the Jewar toll plaza, but the complete expressway toll system has multiple toll collection points.

For a first-time visitor, remembering the 3 locations is enough:

Jewar → Mathura → Agra

Is FASTag required on the Yamuna Expressway?

FASTag is used for electronic toll collection on the Yamuna Expressway.

Your vehicle’s FASTag is linked to the toll-payment system, so the applicable amount can be deducted electronically when you pass through the toll lane.

If you’re driving your own vehicle, check that:

• Your FASTag is active
• The tag is correctly attached to the vehicle
• Your account has enough balance
• Your vehicle details are correct

If you’re taking a taxi from Delhi to Agra, the vehicle operator normally handles the FASTag.

Do tourists need to buy a FASTag for a taxi?

Usually, you don’t need to arrange a separate FASTag when you’re simply a passenger in a commercial taxi.

The tag belongs to the vehicle.

Before booking, ask your driver or tour operator:

“Is the Yamuna Expressway toll included in the quoted fare?”

That question can save you from an awkward conversation when you reach Agra.

How does FASTag work at a toll plaza?

The process is fairly simple.

1. Your vehicle approaches the electronic toll lane.
2. The FASTag attached to the vehicle is read electronically.
3. The applicable toll is processed.
4. The vehicle continues through the plaza.

For a private vehicle, check your FASTag balance before leaving.

For a taxi, the driver or vehicle operator normally manages the account.

What happens if your FASTag doesn’t have enough balance?

An insufficient FASTag balance can cause problems at the toll plaza.

If you’re driving your own vehicle, check the balance before starting your Delhi to Agra journey.

If you’re traveling in a taxi, tell the driver before the trip if you’re concerned about the toll arrangement. The vehicle operator is responsible for the vehicle’s FASTag.

Keep your travel plans flexible around toll stops, traffic and road conditions.

Yamuna Expressway route from Greater Noida to Agra

The basic route is easy to follow:

Greater Noida → Jewar → Mathura → Agra

The expressway connects the Greater Noida side with Agra over approximately 165.5 km.

For travelers visiting the Taj Mahal, the road journey continues into Agra after leaving the expressway.

Your final destination might be:

• Taj Mahal
• Agra Fort
• Mehtab Bagh
• A hotel in Agra
• Agra Cantt Railway Station
• Another part of the city

So allow some extra time after leaving the expressway.

How far is the Yamuna Expressway from Delhi?

The Yamuna Expressway itself doesn’t start in central Delhi.

You first travel through the Delhi-NCR road network towards Noida and Greater Noida. From there, you join the expressway for the Agra journey.

That means your total Delhi to Agra distance and travel time depend on your starting point.

Someone leaving from South Delhi can have a different journey from someone starting near the Delhi airport or Connaught Place.

How long does Greater Noida to Agra take?

The Yamuna Expressway section is around 165.5 km.

Under good road conditions, the Greater Noida to Agra drive can take roughly 2 hours, although traffic, weather, breaks and your final destination in Agra can change the actual time.

For a Delhi day trip, don’t plan your schedule around the fastest possible driving time.

We usually recommend leaving early enough to give yourself some breathing room before your Taj Mahal visit.

Delhi to Agra by car: what should you budget?

For a private car, your road budget can include:

• Yamuna Expressway toll
• Fuel
• Parking
• Driver charges, if applicable
• Food and breaks
• Taj Mahal tickets
• Local sightseeing

If you’re hiring a private car, ask for one total quotation before confirming.

You can ask:

“Does the price include Yamuna Expressway toll, parking and driver charges?”

That gives you a much clearer idea of the actual cost.

Does a Delhi to Agra taxi fare include the toll?

It depends on the taxi company.

Some operators include tolls in the quoted price. Others add them separately.

Before booking, confirm these points:

• Yamuna Expressway toll
• Parking
• Driver allowance
• Waiting time
• Return journey
• Pickup and drop-off locations

If you’re booking a Taj Explorer day tour, check the inclusions shown with the specific tour before confirming.

Our Same-Day Agra Tour by Car is relevant for travelers who want to combine the road journey with a Taj Mahal visit.

Yamuna Expressway toll vs total Delhi to Agra travel cost

Let’s take a simple example.

Suppose you’re driving a private car from Delhi to Agra.

Your approximate road budget might look like:

Expense	Planning amount
Yamuna Expressway toll	Around ₹438
Fuel	Depends on vehicle
Parking	Depends on destination
Food / refreshments	Depends on your plans
Taj Mahal entry	Separate

The ₹438 figure is the expressway toll reference, not the cost of your entire Delhi to Agra trip.

Your actual budget will depend on your car, starting point and itinerary.

Is the Yamuna Expressway useful for a Taj Mahal day trip?

Yes, if you’re traveling from Delhi NCR by road.

The expressway gives you a direct high-speed road connection from Greater Noida towards Agra, which makes it practical for travelers planning a same-day Taj Mahal visit.

Once you reach Agra, you’ll still need local transport to reach the monument.

A typical day might look like:

Delhi pickup → Noida → Greater Noida → Yamuna Expressway → Agra → Taj Mahal → Agra Fort → return to Delhi

If you prefer an early Taj Mahal visit, a sunrise departure can help you reach Agra with more time for sightseeing.

For travelers who prefer the train, Taj Explorer also has a Same-Day Agra Taj Mahal Tour by Gatimaan Express.

Which toll plaza comes first from Greater Noida?

The Jewar toll plaza is the first of the 3 main toll plazas when traveling from Greater Noida towards Agra.

The route then continues towards the Mathura and Agra toll locations.

So the order is:

Greater Noida → Jewar toll plaza → Mathura toll plaza → Agra toll plaza

This is useful to remember when you’re checking your route or talking with your driver.

Can you pay toll without FASTag?

Toll-payment rules can change, so check the current applicable rules before your trip.

For a vehicle with FASTag, electronic toll collection is the normal arrangement.

If you’re renting a car, ask the rental company whether the vehicle has an active FASTag and how toll payments are handled.

For a taxi, the driver generally manages the toll payment for the vehicle.

Are there separate toll charges at every plaza?

The toll system uses multiple toll plazas along the expressway.

Your final applicable charge depends on your journey, vehicle category and current toll rules.

Don’t assume that the amount you see for one vehicle category or one journey applies to every vehicle.

For trip planning, use the full applicable Greater Noida to Agra charge for your vehicle rather than adding random figures found on different websites.

What is the toll for bikes on Yamuna Expressway?

Bike and two-wheeler toll rules need special attention because the applicable charge can differ from car rates.

A published reference lists approximately ₹207 for the full expressway journey under the two-/three-wheeler category.

Before traveling, verify the current rule and applicable vehicle classification, particularly if you’re planning a motorcycle journey.

What should you carry for a Delhi to Agra road trip?

For a comfortable drive, keep these handy:

• Valid ID
• Driving licence if you’re driving
• Vehicle documents
• FASTag with sufficient balance
• Phone charger
• Drinking water
• Sunglasses
• Basic medicines
• Booking confirmation if you’ve arranged a tour

If you’re traveling with children or older family members, allow time for a proper break during the journey.

When should you leave Delhi for Agra?

For a same-day Taj Mahal trip, an early departure usually gives you more room in the itinerary.

Delhi traffic can slow the first part of the journey before you reach Greater Noida.

We’d rather leave early and have some spare time in Agra than build the entire day around an optimistic driving estimate.

If your plan includes the Taj Mahal, Agra Fort and other sights, our Agra Taj Mahal Tour from Delhi can help you compare a planned tour with arranging each part yourself.
