National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has increased the fee for the FASTag Annual Pass. Effective April 1, 2026, the annual pass will cost Rs 3,075. NHAI announced the FASTag Annual Pass in June 2025. It is a prepaid toll plan which is designed exclusively for non-commercial private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans. The annual pass rolled out on August 15 last year. It was then priced at Rs 3,000 for up to 200 toll crossings or a full year’s travel, whichever comes first. With the new revision, it will now cost Rs 3,075. “The revision in the fee has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008,” reads a press release by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways. “With over 56 lakh users, the adoption of the FASTag Annual Pass has been growing among private vehicle owners,” the release added. “The revised rate will be applicable for eligible non-commercial vehicles with a valid FASTag seeking to avail the Annual Pass facility at about 1,150 fee plazas on National Highways and National Expressways”.
