FASTag Annual Pass Tops 2.5 Million Users Two Months After Launch

The Road Ministry says the new option offers a year of travel for a one-time ₹3,000 fee covering up to 200 crossings.

Overview

  • The programme has recorded about 56.7 million toll transactions since August 15, according to the Road Ministry.
  • The pass works at roughly 1,150 national highway and expressway toll plazas, applies only to non-commercial vehicles, and is non-transferable.
  • Activation occurs within two hours on an existing FASTag after payment via the Rajmargyatra app or the NHAI website.
  • Payments at state-managed toll plazas and for parking continue to draw from the FASTag wallet balance rather than the annual pass allowance.
  • Officials describe the pass as a response to concerns over rising toll costs, and NHAI reports strong southern-state uptake plus over 1.5 million Rajmargyatra downloads with high Play Store rankings.
