The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) has announced the launch of a FASTag-based Annual Pass, aimed at ensuring smoother and toll-free travel for non-commercial private vehicle users across India’s highways. The new scheme will come into effect from August 15, 2025.

According to Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, the annual pass will be priced at ₹3,000 and will be valid for one year from the date of activation or for 200 trips, whichever is completed first. The pass is exclusively designed for private cars, jeeps, and vans, and is not applicable to commercial or goods vehicles.

The initiative is expected to particularly benefit daily commuters residing within a 60-kilometre radius of toll plazas, who often face recurring toll payments for regular travel.

Availability

The FASTag Annual Pass can be purchased through the following platforms:

- Rajmarg Yatra mobile application
- National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) official website
- Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) website

This pass is part of the government`s broader push to streamline toll collection, reduce congestion, and enhance the efficiency of highway travel through digital solutions.

The announcement has been well-received by highway users and is seen as a significant step towards making long-distance and daily road travel more affordable and convenient for private vehicle owners.
