FASTag Annual Pass From August 15 For Private Vehicles — 200 Trips For Rs 3,000, Announces Gadkari

Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari announced a FASTag-based annual pass for highway travel on Wednesday, effective from August 15.

"In a transformative step towards hassle-free highway travel, we are introducing a FASTag-based Annual Pass priced at Rs 3,000, effective from 15th August 2025," he said in a post on X.

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

The pass will enable seamless and cost-effective travel across National Highways throughout the country, he said.

The link for activation and renewal will soon be made available on the Rajmarg Yatra App as well as on the official websites of NHAI and MoRTH.

This policy addresses long-standing concerns regarding toll plazas located within a 60 km range and simplifies toll payments through a single, affordable transaction, Gadkari said.

"By reducing wait times, easing congestion, and minimising disputes at toll plazas, the Annual Pass aims to deliver a faster and smoother travel experience for millions of private vehicle owners," he wrote.
