FASTag Annual Pass fee will increase from ₹3,000 to ₹3,075 starting April 1, 2026, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) announced Saturday. The ₹75 hike applies to non-commercial vehicles using the one-time payment option across 1,150 toll plazas on National Highways and Expressways. Over 56 lakh users have adopted the pass since its August 2025 launch.
The FASTag Annual Pass allows users to pay a one-time amount instead of recharging their FASTag frequently. NHAI said the facility has seen strong uptake among private vehicle owners.
Who can use the FASTag Annual Pass?
The Annual Pass is available for non-commercial vehicles such as cars, jeeps and vans that have a valid and active FASTag. The revised rate will apply at around 1,150 fee plazas on National Highways and National Expressways.
However, the pass does not apply across every toll point. As per a report by The Indian Express, it is not valid at toll plazas on roads managed by state governments or local bodies, including certain expressways and state highways. At such locations, the FASTag will continue to work as a regular tag and the standard toll fee will apply.
How long does the pass remain valid, and where one can buy it?
According to NHAI, the pass remains valid for one year or 200 toll crossings, whichever comes first. Once either of these limits is reached, the FASTag automatically reverts to a regular FASTag.
The Annual Pass can be purchased through the Rajmarg Yatra app or the NHAI website. After payment, it gets activated on the existing FASTag linked to the vehicle within two hours.
How widely is the pass being used?
According to the PIB, the pass now has over 56 lakh users, representing a sizeable share of non-commercial car toll transactions on National Highways processed through this system.
The Indian Express also reported that by January 2026, the FASTag Annual Pass had recorded more than 26.55 crore transactions since its launch. Among toll plazas, Bijwasan Fee Plaza on the Delhi-Gurugram border has seen the highest use, followed by Mundka Toll Plaza and Jhinjholi Fee Plaza near Delhi.
For users who do not opt for the Annual Pass, the regular FASTag system will continue unchanged.
