The Uttar Pradesh Expressways Industrial Development Authority (UPEIDA) has initiated the process of determining toll rates for the under-construction Ganga Expressway. As part of this process, UPEIDA has begun the selection of a consulting firm to assist in calculating the toll charges.

The 594-kilometre-long expressway, currently under construction, will connect key districts including Meerut, Amroha, Sambhal, Badaun, Hapur, Hardoi, Unnao, Bulandshahr, Shahjahanpur, Pratapgarh, Rae Bareli, and Prayagraj.
