Number of gates
Every gate needs its own boom barrier, controller, and FASTag reader. A society with a single entry point costs less to automate than one with two or three access points.

Gate Automation Cost for Your Society
Dwaar AI installs gate automation that reads the FASTag already fitted on your residents' cars, so there is no separate RFID tag to buy for every vehicle. Answer a few quick questions below and see your indicative gate automation cost in under two minutes, no sales call required.

What changes the number
What determines your gate automation cost
There is no single price for gate automation because no two societies have the same gates. These are the factors that actually move the number. Enter your own configuration in the calculator below to see your range.
Combined or separate entry and exit
A single lane handling both entry and exit needs one barrier and one reader. Separate entry and exit lanes each need their own hardware, which raises the cost per gate.
ANPR cameras, gate by gate
Number plate recognition is optional per gate and priced per camera. Societies often add it only at the main gate first and expand to other gates later.
New installation or replacing a vendor
Switching from an existing proprietary RFID system can reuse a compatible boom barrier after a check, which lowers the hardware cost against a full new installation.

Step 2: Your gates
Add each gate at your society and how it is used today: entry, exit, or both. This is what shapes your range.
This does not change your price. Dwaar uses residents' existing FASTag, so there is no per-vehicle tag cost, unlike systems that charge for every RFID tag issued.
Only boom barriers can typically be reused after a compatibility check. Controllers, readers, and cameras usually need replacing to work with Dwaar's system.

The FASTag difference
Why FASTag costs less than RFID tags
Most gate automation vendors issue their own RFID tag to every resident vehicle, and charge for each one. Dwaar AI reads the FASTag your residents already have fitted for highway tolls, so there is no separate tag to buy, issue, or replace when someone gets a new car or loses their tag. The saving is not a one-time discount, it is a cost that never shows up on your bill again.
How it works
How FASTag-based gate automation works
As a car approaches the gate, the FASTag reader picks up the tag already fitted on the windshield and checks it against your society's approved list. If it matches, the barrier lifts automatically, no guard action needed. If a vehicle is not on the list, the guard sees it flagged on the Nazar Guard App and can verify the visitor manually. It runs on the same RFID technology used at highway toll booths, applied to a single society gate instead.
Comparing vendors
Dwaar AI vs Park+ and MyGate: how the pricing compares
Park+ and MyGate are two of the most recognised RWA and visitor management platforms in India, and many societies compare them when evaluating gate automation. Both offer app-based visitor management, and some of their gate automation options are built around RFID tags issued to each resident vehicle.
The real difference to look for is not the headline hardware price, it is whether the pricing includes a cost per vehicle. A system that issues its own RFID tags typically bills for every tag given to a resident, and that cost repeats whenever a resident buys a new car, a tag is lost, or a tag fails. Dwaar AI is built around the FASTag residents already have, so there is no separate tag to buy on the vehicle side of the system at all.
If you are comparing quotes from different vendors, ask each one directly whether their price includes a recurring cost per vehicle. That is usually where the real cost difference over two or three years shows up, more than in the upfront hardware number.

FAQ
Questions about gate automation cost
Gate automation for a residential society in India typically costs between ₹3,00,000 and ₹6,00,000 for a society with one or two gates, and more for larger societies with multiple gates or ANPR cameras. A single gate with combined entry and exit and no ANPR camera typically comes to about ₹3,00,000 to ₹3,80,000 including GST. Use the calculator above to get a range specific to your society's gates.
A boom barrier unit costs around ₹76,490 including GST. A full working lane, the barrier, FASTag reader, software licence, installation, and freight, costs about ₹1,55,321 including GST. Add ₹21,496 once per gate for the controller, and ₹82,481 per lane if you want an ANPR camera, both including GST.
FASTag gate automation reads the FASTag already fitted on a resident's windshield as the car approaches the gate, checks it against the approved list for that society, and opens the barrier automatically without the guard stopping the car or scanning a separate tag. It uses the same RFID technology as highway toll plazas, applied to a single gate instead of a toll booth.
Yes, because residents already have a FASTag fitted for highway tolls, so there is no separate tag to buy, issue, or replace for every vehicle. Systems that use their own RFID tags charge for every tag issued, and that cost repeats each time a resident buys a new car, loses a tag, or a tag stops working.
No, the number of vehicles at your society does not change the cost, since Dwaar AI reads the FASTag residents already carry instead of issuing a paid tag per vehicle. Cost is driven by the number of gates, how many lanes each gate needs for entry and exit, and whether you want ANPR cameras, not by how many cars pass through.
The price includes the boom barrier, controller, FASTag reader, software licence for the Admin Portal, installation, and freight for each lane, plus an ANPR camera if you choose one. It does not include ongoing maintenance or a fee per vehicle, since there is no per-vehicle tag with a FASTag based system.

Often yes, if the barrier is in working condition and compatible with Dwaar's controller, which we confirm during a free site visit. Controllers, FASTag readers, and cameras usually need replacing to work with Dwaar's system, even when the boom barrier itself can stay.
