"NHAI has announced the revision of the applicable fee for the FASTag Annual Pass from the current Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,075 - Ministry of Road Transport & Highways"

New Delhi, March 15

The National Highways Authority of India on Sunday announced a revision in the FASTag annual pass fee for the financial year 2026-27.

The fee has been increased from Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,075 and the revised rate will come into effect from April 1, 2026.

"NHAI has announced the revision of the applicable fee for the FASTag Annual Pass from the current Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,075 for the Financial Year 2026-27," the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways said.

According to NHAI, the revision has been made in line with the provisions of the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008.

The FASTag Annual Pass has been gaining popularity among private vehicle owners, with more than 56 lakh users currently availing the facility.

The revised annual pass will continue to be available for eligible non-commercial vehicles that have a valid FASTag.

It can be used at around 1,150 fee plazas located on national highways and expressways across the country.

The FASTag Annual Pass allows users to avoid frequent recharges by paying a one-time fee that remains valid for one year or for up to 200 toll plaza crossings, whichever comes earlier.

The facility is designed to make highway travel more convenient and cost-effective for regular commuters.

Once the payment is made, the annual pass is activated on the existing FASTag linked to the vehicle within two hours.

Users can purchase or renew the pass through the Rajmarg Yatra App or the official website of NHAI.

"The annual pass gets activated within two hours on the existing FASTag linked to the vehicle after payment of the one-time fee through the Rajmarg Yatra App or the National Highways Authority of India website," it added.

The FASTag Annual Pass was launched on Independence Day, August 15, 2025, and has received strong response from highway users.

NHAI said the growing adoption of the pass reflects the convenience it offers to people travelling frequently on national highways across India.

While I appreciate the convenience, I wish the government would focus on improving road quality and safety on these highways as well. A small fee hike is okay, but we need to see the value for our money in terms of infrastructure maintenance.

Bhai, 56 lakh users already! That's impressive. Shows how many of us are on the roads regularly. The 200-crossing limit is fair for most regular commuters. Good move by NHAI.

As someone who drives between Bangalore and Chennai every month, this pass saves me so much time and hassle. The activation within two hours is very efficient. The minor price increase is expected and acceptable.

They should consider a tiered system. For people who cross less than 50 times a year, maybe a half-price pass? A one-size-fits-all approach isn't perfect. Otherwise, the tech and convenience are top-notch.

The Rajmarg Yatra app is quite user-friendly for renewal. Much better than standing in queues. This small hike won't stop me from renewing. It's still very cost-effective for my weekly trips to visit family.
