Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Tuesday announced a major update for private vehicle owners — a FASTag-based Annual Pass priced at ₹3,000. Starting from August 15, 2025, the new system aims to make toll payments easier and highway travel more convenient across India.
The pass, meant only for non-commercial private vehicles like cars, jeeps, and vans, will be valid for one year from the date of activation or until 200 trips—whichever comes first. This move is part of the government’s larger plan to make travel smoother and cut down toll-related delays.
The Annual Pass can be activated and renewed through a dedicated link on the Rajmarg Yatra App, as well as on the official websites of NHAI and MoRTH.
Gadkari mentioned that the policy also tackles long-standing public complaints about toll plazas located within a 60-km stretch. By combining toll payments into one affordable transaction, the scheme aims to cut down wait times, reduce congestion, and lower the chances of disputes at toll plazas.
The initiative is set to benefit millions of private vehicle owners and represents a major step toward creating a more digital and hassle-free travel experience across India.
