Starting August 15, 2025, private car owners in India can take advantage of the new ₹3,000 FASTag Annual Pass launched by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). This new pass aims to make highway travel cheaper and more convenient for owners of private vehicles, offering huge savings for frequent travelers.
If you’re wondering how it works and whether it’s worth buying — here are 5 key questions answered for you.
1. What is the new FASTag Annual Plan?
MoRTH has introduced this annual toll payment plan for non-commercial private vehicles — such as cars, jeeps, and vans.
Cost: ₹3,000 per year
Validity: 1 year OR 200 trips (whichever comes first)
For those who frequently use national highways, this plan could reduce annual toll expenses from nearly ₹10,000 to just ₹3,000 — averaging around ₹15 per trip. It’s a huge saving for regular drivers.
2. Where can you buy or renew this pass?
From August 15, you can buy or renew the pass easily from:
Highway Travel mobile app
NHAI website: www.nhai.gov.in
MoRTH website: www.morth.nic.in
These platforms make it convenient for users to manage their passes online.
3. Do you need to buy a new FASTag?
No need — if you already have a valid FASTag on your car:
The existing FASTag can be used
Just ensure it’s properly installed, registered, and not blacklisted
The annual pass will simply be activated on your current FASTag — no extra device required
4. Where will this pass be valid?
The ₹3,000 FASTag Annual Pass will be valid at:
All NHAI toll plazas across India
National highways only
Note: It won’t apply to state highways or private toll roads unless notified. For the latest list of applicable highways, check the Highway Travel app or NHAI website.
5. Who can use this pass?
This plan is only for private vehicles:
Eligible: Cars, jeeps, vans
Not eligible: Commercial vehicles (taxis, buses, trucks)
The aim is to provide a cost-effective option for everyday commuters, not business transport operators.
Final Word
With fuel prices and toll charges rising, this ₹3,000 FASTag Annual Pass could be a great way for frequent drivers to save money on tolls. If you regularly use national highways for commuting or personal travel, this pass is definitely worth considering from August 15, 2025.
Stay tuned for more updates on this exciting new scheme!
