The road distance from Pune to Ooty is 1,048 km via NH150A — too long for most people to drive in one go.
You cross 10 toll plazas across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Tamil Nadu. For a car the published fees add up to ₹705 one way, about ₹0.67 per km. 1 plaza on this route does not publish fees in the NHAI dataset; budget about ₹80 extra to be safe.
At 17 h 40 min of realistic driving time, plan an overnight halt roughly halfway — two drivers sharing the wheel is the safer option if you must do it in one day.
Ooty is a hill destination: the last stretch climbs ghat roads, where mileage drops by roughly 15–25% and speeds fall sharply. Our fuel figures use flat-road mileage, so add a buffer.

Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Ooty to Pune toll is the same ~₹785 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Ooty's state price.
