Around ₹16,829 one way for a petrol sedan (fuel ₹13,724 + toll ₹3,105), or ₹32,653 for a same-day return. Split between four people that is ₹4,207 each, one way.
Plan on about 31 h including short breaks. Free-flowing traffic can do it in 22 h 6 min, but towns, trucks and plaza queues usually add time.
One way with FASTag: bus/2-axle truck ₹10,420, 3-axle ₹14,515, 4–6 axle ₹16,710, 7+ axle ₹19,380 (includes estimates for plazas without published fees).
Yes, plazas charge the same fee in both directions, so the Madurai to Ujjain toll is the same ~₹3,105 for a car. Fuel cost differs only if you fill up at Madurai's state price.
