FASTag Annual Pass Launched, Pay Yearly and Travel Seamlessly

To make highway travel easier, faster, and more affordable, the government is launching a new FASTag-based Annual Pass for private vehicles.

What is the FASTag Annual Pass?

• It’s a yearly toll pass for non-commercial private vehicles like cars, jeeps, and vans.
• The pass will cost ₹3,000.
• It will be available starting 15th August 2025.

Validity of the Pass

• The pass will be valid for one full year from the date it is activated.
  OR
• It will be valid for 200 highway trips, whichever comes first.
  (So if you complete 200 trips before one year, the pass ends there.)

Where Can You Use It?

• You can use this pass on National Highways across India.
• No need to pay toll fees every time—you just need to use FASTag as usual, and it will automatically count your trips.

How to Activate and Renew the Pass?

• You will be able to activate and renew your Annual Pass from:
  • The Rajmarg Yatra App
  • The official websites of NHAI (National Highways Authority of India) and MoRTH (Ministry of Road Transport and Highways).
• A special link for this will be shared soon.

Why Is This Being Introduced?

• This pass solves the long-pending issue of toll plazas within 60 km from each other, which often led to confusion and complaints.
• It ensures that you pay just one affordable amount instead of paying tolls again and again.
• It also:
  • Reduces long queues at toll plazas
  • Lowers congestion
  • Prevents arguments and disputes at toll booths
  • Saves time for drivers

Who Will Benefit?

• Millions of private vehicle owners who use highways regularly.
• Especially useful for people living near toll plazas or who travel often between cities.
