NHAI to revise FASTag annual pass fee from 1st April 2026 to Rs 3,075 for FY26-27

NHAI revises FASTag Annual Pass fee to Rs 3,075 effective April 1, 2026. The pass offers 200 toll crossings for over 56 lakh users.

"greater convenience and cost-effective travel option - Ministry of Road Transport & Highways"

New Delhi, March 15

The National Highways Authority of India is set to revise the applicable fee for the FASTag Annual Pass, increasing the rate from the current Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,075 for the 2026-27 Financial Year. According to the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, this new fee structure takes effect on April 1, 2026. The adjustment follows the regulatory framework established under the National Highways Fee Rules, 2008.

The revised rate applies specifically to eligible non-commercial vehicles equipped with a valid FASTag. This facility remains available at approximately 1,150 fee plazas across the network of National Highways and National Expressways. The Ministry noted that the adoption of the FASTag Annual Pass continues to grow among private vehicle owners, with the user base currently exceeding 56 lakh individuals.

By opting for this annual pass, motorists eliminate the need for frequent recharges. The system operates on a one-time fee payment that grants validity for one full year or a total of 200 toll plaza crossings. The Ministry noted that the pass is applicable for all non-commercial vehicles, provided they maintain a valid FASTag.

The activation process remains streamlined for the convenience of the commuters. Once the one-time fee is paid through the Rajmarg Yatra app or the official National Highways Authority of India website, the annual pass activates within two hours on the existing FASTag linked to the vehicle. This digital integration ensures that the transition to the new fee cycle remains seamless for the existing 56 lakh users.

The FASTag Annual Pass was originally launched on August 15, 2025. The Ministry observed that the response to the initiative has been significant since its inception. This adoption rate underlines the "greater convenience and cost-effective travel option" that the pass provides to National Highway users across the country.

I travel frequently between Delhi and Chandigarh. The annual pass has been a lifesaver! The small increase is okay, but I hope the service quality at toll plazas improves. Sometimes the scanners are slow.

With 56 lakh users, NHAI is earning a huge amount. Where is this money going? We need transparency. Are the roads getting better? Or is this just another revenue collection exercise? 🤔

As an expat living here, the FASTag system is brilliant. So much more efficient than tolls back home. The annual pass is great value for money, even with the slight hike.

They should introduce a tiered system. For someone like me who only takes 30-40 trips a year, paying ₹3075 doesn't make sense. A half-yearly or quarterly option would be more inclusive.

Activation within 2 hours is impressive! The digital process is smooth. This is how government services should work - hassle-free and user-friendly. More power to Digital India! 🇮🇳
