Overview
- The government said the FASTag annual pass has crossed one crore issuances since the scheme launched, marking rapid adoption by private motorists.
- The pass costs Rs.3,075 and gives non-commercial vehicles either up to 200 toll crossings or one year of travel across about 1,150 national highway and expressway plazas.
- Drivers can buy the pass on the Rajmargyatra app or the NHAI website and have it activate on their existing FASTag within two hours after payment.
- The annual pass is non-transferable and uses users' FASTag wallet balances at state-managed plazas, while the OneTag portability feature lets users relink a physical tag to a new bank account or issuer without replacing the sticker.
- The scheme was introduced as a way to smooth rising highway costs on new corridors, so frequent travellers may avoid repeated top-ups and face more predictable toll spending.
