One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹4,605, 3-axle ₹5,785, 4–6 axle ₹7,225, 7+ axle ₹8,825 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Ooty to Bhopal toll is the same ~₹1,375 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Ooty'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.
