The government has come up with a way to enable seamless and cost-effective travel across national highways across the country with a FASTag-based annual pass for private vehicles. This was announced on Wednesday by Union Minister of Road, Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari.
The pass, priced at ₹3,000, would be effective from August 15, said the minister, adding that it is designed exclusively for non-commercial private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans.
In a post on X, Gadkari said the pass is valid for one year from the date of activation or up to 200 trips, whichever comes first.
A dedicated link for activation and renewal will soon be available on the Rajmarg Yatra App, as well as on the official websites of NHAI and MoRTH, he added.
Gadkari said the policy addresses long-standing concerns regarding toll plazas located within a 60 km range and simplifies toll payments through a single, affordable transaction.
"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, " the minister said.
