Mumbai, August 18: In an attempt to make toll rates more affordable for the users, private vehicle owners can now activate a FASTag annual pass through the Rajmargyatra mobile app. Priced at INR 3,000, the pass offers up to 200 toll trips or one year of validity, whichever comes first, across all toll plazas managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).

The annual pass is available for cars, jeeps, and vans with an active FASTag account linked to the vehicle’s registration number and sufficient wallet balance. Once activated, users can travel seamlessly on NHAI and MoRTH-operated highways and expressways until the trip or time limit is reached. After that, standard FASTag toll charges will apply. The FASTag annual pass can be activated through the Rajmargyatra mobile app or by visiting the official website of the NHAI at nhai.gov.in. FASTag Annual Pass: Government Launches Yearly Passes at INR 3,000, Know How To Apply Online.
