Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Bhopal to Bangalore toll is the same ~₹1,565 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Bhopal's state price.
Fees are revised every 1 April and some plazas change mid-year, so treat results as a close estimate. Spotted a wrong fee or a missing plaza? Tell us — we fix reported errors within 72 hours and log them on our corrections page.
