What does the FASTag annual pass offer?
The FASTag Annual Pass allows private vehicle owners to pay a one-time fee instead of recharging their FASTag regularly. This is very beneficial for frequent highway users in India.
It slashes costs by up to 80 percent, saving Rs. 55–65 per journey on private cars while eliminating toll booth queues and recharges. Ideal for commuters, it boosts efficiency, cuts fuel use, and reduces emissions available for non-commercial vehicles.
The pass is valid for one year or 200 toll crossings, whichever occurs first. It is priced at Rs. 3,000-Rs. 3,075. This can be used at approximately 1,150 toll plazas across National Highways and National Expressways.
