The FASTag Annual
Pass has crossed a landmark milestone of one crore passes issued, underscoring
its growing acceptance among private vehicle owners and its increasing role in
making travel on India’s National Highways and Expressways more seamless and
economical.
Launched on August
15, 2025, the Annual Pass has witnessed strong adoption among National Highway
users seeking a convenient alternative to repeated toll payments and FASTag
recharges. The milestone highlights the expanding preference for simplified,
predictable toll-payment options among non-commercial vehicle owners.
The Annual Pass is
currently applicable at around 1,150 fee plazas across National Highways and
National Expressways. Under the scheme, eligible motorists can avail themselves
of the pass through a one-time payment of ₹3,075, providing validity for one year or 200 toll plaza
crossings, whichever comes first.
The facility is
available to non-commercial vehicles equipped with a valid FASTag. Once the
one-time payment is made, the Annual Pass is activated on the existing FASTag
linked to the vehicle, eliminating the need for a separate tag. The payment and
activation process can be completed through the Rajmargyatra App.
The one-crore
milestone reflects the growing reach of digital tolling and the increasing use
of technology-driven solutions to improve the highway travel experience. By
combining FASTag-based electronic toll collection with an annual payment model,
the initiative offers motorists greater convenience while reducing the need for
frequent toll-related transactions.
With its expanding
user base, the FASTag Annual Pass is emerging as an important component of
India’s efforts to promote seamless, efficient and economical mobility across
the National Highway network.
