NHAI announces hike in FASTag annual pass fee effective April 1

New Delhi, Mar 15 (UNI) The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Sunday announced a revision in the fee for the FASTag Annual Pass, increasing it from Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,075 for the financial year 2026-27.
The revised fee will come into effect from April 1, 2026, and has been implemented in accordance with the provisions of the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008.
According to NHAI, the FASTag Annual Pass has witnessed growing adoption among private vehicle owners, with more than 56 lakh users currently availing the facility.
The revised rate will apply to eligible non-commercial vehicles with a valid FASTag seeking the Annual Pass facility at around 1,150 fee plazas located on National Highways and National Expressways across the country.
The FASTag Annual Pass allows users to make a one-time payment for a validity of one year or up to 200 toll plaza crossings, eliminating the need for frequent FASTag recharges.
NHAI said the pass is activated within two hours on the existing FASTag linked to the vehicle after payment of the one-time fee through the Rajmarg Yatra App or through the NHAI website.
The FASTag Annual Pass was launched on August 15, 2025, to provide a cost-effective travel option for highway users across India.
