Overview

  • The Rs3,000 pass grants non-commercial vehicles up to 200 toll-free crossings or remains valid for one year, whichever comes first.
  • CareEdge Ratings projects that frequent users could save about 80% per trip as the effective rate drops to roughly ₹0.30 per km.
  • The annual pass will automatically revert FASTag accounts to regular toll payments once users exhaust their trips or reach the one-year term.
  • The initiative is expected to reduce toll operator revenues by 4–8% if a third of private vehicles adopt the plan, prompting a compensation framework under concession agreements.
  • Applicants must have an active FASTag linked to their vehicle registration number and can purchase the pass through the Rajmarg Yatra app or NHAI and MoRTH websites.
