FASTag annual toll pass rolls out with 1.39 lakh transactions recorded on Day 1: NHAI

Around 1.4 lakh users purchased and activated the Rs 3000 annual toll pass on the first day of the launch of the facility by the ministry of road transport and highways, aimed at encouraging the use of technology and enhancing the ease of living for highway users.

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), under MoRTH, rolled-out the ‘FASTag Annual Pass’ facility from 15th August 2025 at about 1,150 toll plazas on National Highways and Expressways across the country, NHAI said in a statement issued on Friday.

“The annual pass has received an overwhelming response from the national highway users. On the first day of implementation, around 1.39 lakh transactions were recorded on toll plazas,” it said, adding around 20,000 – 25,000 concurrent users are using Rajmargyatra App at any point of time and annual pass users are receiving SMS messages for zero deduction of toll fee.


The FASTag Annual Pass eliminates the need to frequently recharge FASTag through one-time fee payment of Rs 3,000 for one year validity or 200 toll plaza crossings.

It is applicable for all non-commercial vehicles with a valid FASTag and gets activated within two hours of the one-time fee payment.

To facilitate the use of the annual toll pass, NHAI officials and nodal officers have been appointed on each toll plaza to ensure a smooth travel experience for the pass users.

Besides, NHAI is addressing queries of the pass users through various channels and has strengthened 1033 National Highway helpline.

The government is of the view that the introduction of the annual pass facility will not only enhance the FASTag user experience but will also make journeys on the national highways and expressways more economical and seamless

With a penetration rate of around 98% and over 80 million users, FASTag has revolutionized the electronic toll collection system in the country.
