The FASTag Annual Pass offers private cars, jeeps, and vans free access through designated National Highway (NH) and National Expressway (NE) toll plazas.

New Delhi: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is set to introduce the FASTag Annual Pass starting August 15. With this, the highway commuting in India is set for a major upgrade. It is important to note that under this scheme, owners of private cars, jeeps, and vans can pay a one-time fee of Rs 3,000, which will cover up to 200 toll transactions or travel for one full year, whichever comes first.

The new pass is designed to simplify and reduce the cost of frequent highway travel.

Here are some of the key details:

• The FASTag Annual Pass offers private cars, jeeps, and vans free access through designated National Highway (NH) and National Expressway (NE) toll plazas
• It is important to note that the FASTag Annual Pass will be valid for either one year or up to 200 trips, whichever comes first.
• Once the Rs 3,000 payment for the 2025–26 base year is confirmed, the pass is usually activated on the registered FASTag within two hours.
• For tolls on state highways or municipal roads, FASTag will continue to operate normally, with standard charges applied.
• There’s no need to purchase a new FASTag, as the Annual Pass can be linked to an existing FASTag
