FASTag Annual Pass announced by Nitin Gadkari How much does it cost?

In a transformative step towards hassle-free highway travel, we are introducing a FASTag-based Annual Pass priced at ?3,000, effective from 15th August 2025. Valid for one year from the date of activation or up to 200 trips—whichever comes first—this pass is designed exclusively for non-commercial private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans," he said in a post on X.

Link To Be Available On Rajmarg Yatra App 

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.

PAC Flags Concern Over FASTags

Earlier in May, Parliament's Public Accounts Committee's chairperson and Congress MP KC Venugopal said that FASTags not properly working, extra money charged by toll plazas and the quality of roads being constructed were some of the issues that drew concern from the members of the committee. 

"The committee was very concerned about these issues," he said, referring to the complaints over FASTags, tolls and quality of roads.
