The launch of the FASTag Annual Pass presents a game-changing option for frequent highway commuters, promising both major cost savings and seamless toll payment convenience. With India’s network of highways busier than ever, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has rolled out this annual subscription to make journeys smoother for regular travellers.
The FASTag Annual Pass allows vehicle owners to pay a one-time fee for unlimited or discounted toll plaza access throughout the year, eliminating the need for repeated recharges or cash payments at every journey. Available through authorised banks, digital wallets, and NHAI’s official portal, the new offering has already gained rapid popularity, especially among daily business travellers, transporters, and long-distance commuters.
How It Works:
Users purchase the annual pass via participating banks or the NHAI FASTag platform.
Upon activation, the pass links to the user’s existing FASTag and remains valid for 12 months.
At toll plazas, vehicles with the annual pass enjoy automatic barrier-free passage—no daily deductions, no paper tickets, and no cash required.
Transport experts note that the pass offers significant financial benefits, particularly for those who cross toll plazas multiple times a week. With set upfront pricing, regular users avoid the stress of low FASTag balances or unexpected deductions, and can better budget travel expenses.
An NHAI spokesperson said, “The new FASTag Annual Pass is designed to reward loyalty and make travel truly frictionless. It’s about supporting India’s mobility and providing reliable savings for our most frequent highway users.”
Drivers who have already switched to the annual pass report smoother highway experiences and faster commutes, with many calling it “an absolute must” for trade professionals and families alike.
