NHAI increases annual pass fee by ₹75 to ₹3,075 effective April 1
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will increase the price of the FASTag Annual Pass for non-commercial vehicles from ₹3,000 to ₹3,075 starting April 1 for the financial year 2026–27.
The revision was announced in an order issued on March 15 and applies to private vehicles that are equipped with an active FASTag.
The annual pass scheme was introduced on August 15, 2025, to provide relief to frequent highway users from rising toll costs and simplify travel across national highways.
According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH), more than 5 million highway users currently utilise the annual pass, accounting for around 28 per cent of all car transactions on the national highway network.
The FASTag Annual Pass is a prepaid toll facility designed for private vehicles such as cars, jeeps and vans.
Instead of paying toll charges each time a vehicle crosses a toll plaza, users can pay a fixed annual fee and make multiple trips within a specified limit.
The pass allows up to 200 toll crossings during a one-year period. Once either the trip limit or the time validity is reached, the pass automatically reverts to a regular FASTag account.
