“In a transformative step towards hassle-free highway travel, we are introducing a FASTag-based Annual Pass priced at Rs 3,000, effective from 15th August 2025. Valid for one year from the date of activation or up to 200 trips—whichever comes first—this pass is designed exclusively for non-commercial private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans,” he wrote.
“The Annual Pass will enable seamless and cost-effective travel across National Highways throughout the country. A dedicated link for activation and renewal will soon be made available on the Rajmarg Yatra App as well as on the official websites of NHAI and MoRTH,” he added.
“This policy addresses long-standing concerns regarding toll plazas located within a 60 km range and simplifies toll payments through a single, affordable transaction. By reducing wait times, easing congestion, and minimizing disputes at toll plazas, the Annual Pass aims to deliver a faster and smoother travel experience for millions of private vehicle owners,” the Union Minister highlighted.
How to Get the FASTag Annual Pass
The FASTag-based Annual Pass will be accessible via the Rajmarg Yatra mobile app and the official websites of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). A dedicated activation and renewal link will go live ahead of the August 15, 2025, launch.
Aimed at simplifying toll payments and improving travel efficiency, the pass will help reduce congestion and disputes at toll plazas by eliminating the need for repeated payments. The initiative is part of the government’s push to digitise and modernise India’s road infrastructure for smoother highway experiences.
