Fastag annual pass
The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways on Wednesday announced that it is introducing a FASTag-based Annual Pass to accommodate hassle-free highway travel.

Making the announcement on X, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the pass will be priced at Rs 3,000 for a year, effective from August 15, 2025.

The latest FASTag pass will be valid for non-commercial private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans and for one year from the date of activation or up to 200 trips, whichever comes first.


It aims to ease toll-related grievances, especially for commuters living near toll plazas located within a 60-kilometre radius.

FAST-ag Yearly Pass: How to get it

The Annual Pass will be available through the Rajmarg Yatra mobile application and on the official websites of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).

A dedicated link for activation and renewal will be released ahead of the launch.

FAST-ag Annual Pass: How it will help

According to Gadkari, this new system intends to simplify toll payments by allowing users to make a single, upfront transaction for an entire year. The policy also addresses long-standing public concerns over frequent toll deductions during short-distance travel.


By standardising access and removing the need for repeated toll payments, the government expects the Annual Pass to reduce congestion, limit disputes at toll plazas, and ensure faster movement for private vehicles across the highway network.

The initiative comes as part of broader efforts to digitise and modernise road infrastructure services while enhancing user convenience on the national highway grid.
