The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), in collaboration with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), has unveiled the much-anticipated FASTag Annual Pass . The prepaid pass, costing INR 3,000, promises seamless, cost-effective travel for private vehicle owners, eliminating the hassle of frequent toll payments and reducing congestion at toll plazas. The launch was announced by the FASTag official account on X. “The much-awaited launch is finally here! FASTag Annual Pass is live now!”


What is the FASTag Annual Pass, and who needs it?The FASTag Annual Pass is a prepaid toll payment plan designed exclusively for non-commercial private vehicles, such as cars, jeeps, and vans. The FASTag Annual Pass is introduced under the National Electronic Toll Collection (NETC) framework. The pass allows vehicle owners to pay a one-time fee of INR 3,000 for up to 200 toll plaza crossings or one year of validity, whichever comes first.



Key features and benefits of FASTag Annual PassThe FASTag Annual Pass is tailored to benefit frequent highway commuters, particularly those traveling for work, family visits, or leisure. The pass is valid on major National Highways and expressways like the Delhi–Mumbai Expressway, Mumbai–Nashik Highway, and Mumbai–Surat Highway.


Here are the key features:

• The pass is active for one year from the activation date or up to 200 toll crossings, whichever occurs first. Once either limit is reached, the FASTag reverts to the standard pay-per-use mode.

• The pass is exclusive to non-commercial vehicles with an active, properly affixed FASTag linked to the Vehicle Registration Number (VRN).

• The pass is linked to a single registered vehicle and cannot be transferred. The fee is non-refundable.

• It is valid only at NHAI and MoRTH-managed toll plazas, excluding state highways, municipal toll roads, or private toll operators.
