Overview

  • The pass will cost Rs3,000 and remain valid for one year from activation or up to 200 trips, whichever occurs first.
  • Users can activate and renew the Annual Pass through the Rajmarg Yatra App or the official NHAI and MoRTH websites ahead of launch.
  • The prepaid model is projected to cut average annual toll expenses by about Rs7,000 for frequent private commuters.
  • Enrollment is optional and drivers who exhaust 200 trips within a year may repurchase the pass without losing remaining validity.
  • This initiative is part of a broader road modernization effort that will later introduce sensor-based, GPS-driven barrier-free tolling.
