Govt Launches Rs 3,000 Annual FASTag Pass for Private Cars

The Union government has announced the launch of a FASTag-based annual pass for private vehicle owners, priced at Rs 3,000, starting 15 August 2025. The pass will allow up to 200 trips or one year of validity, whichever comes first, enabling seamless travel across national highways.

The scheme, applicable exclusively to private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans, aims to simplify toll payments, reduce congestion, and address long-standing grievances related to toll plazas located within 60 km proximity. Commercial vehicles are excluded from the scheme.

Announcing the initiative, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said the annual pass will offer a cost-effective and efficient alternative for frequent travellers on national highways. The activation and renewal of the pass will be facilitated through a dedicated link on the Rajmarg Yatra app, as well as the official websites of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).

Gadkari emphasised that the initiative will minimise delays, ease bottlenecks, and enhance travel experience for millions of daily commuters by eliminating repetitive toll payments.

The move is part of the government’s broader efforts to modernise road infrastructure and streamline digital toll collection systems, further encouraging digital adoption among private vehicle users.
