Overview

• Over 5 lakh private vehicle owners opted for the ₹3,000 annual FASTag plan between August 15 and 18, according to NHAI and MoRTH data.
• Southern states led the uptake with Tamil Nadu, Karnataka and Haryana recording the highest subscriptions, while Uttar Pradesh activated around 30,000 passes and logged over 21,000 toll crossings in its first two days.
• Pass activation through the Rajmargyatra app or NHAI website completes within two hours of payment once KYC and vehicle eligibility are verified.
• NHAI has deployed nodal officers at about 1,150 toll plazas and added over 100 executives to the 1033 helpline to support annual-pass users.
• Reports of phishing scams targeting FASTag wallets have spurred advisories to use only official portals, secure OTPs and consider the annual pass to avoid wallet-related fraud.
