New Delhi, (Kiran News). The FASTag Annual Pass, launched to reduce congestion, minimise disputes, and make toll crossings more cost-effective, has received an overwhelming response. Rolled out for private car owners on August 15, 2025, the pass has crossed the landmark of five lakh users within just four days of its launch. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) announced this development, highlighting the strong demand from users.
The FASTag Annual Pass allows for 200 trips on national highways at a flat annual rate of ₹3,000, which translates to ₹15 per trip.
Tamil Nadu Registers Maximum FASTag Annual Pass Buyers
According to the ministry, Tamil Nadu has registered the largest number of annual pass buyers in the last four days, followed by Karnataka and Haryana. The highest number of transactions through the FASTag Annual Pass at toll plazas were recorded in Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, and Andhra Pradesh.
The government further stated that around 1.4 lakh users purchased the FASTag Annual Pass till 7.00 pm on August 15, 2025, and about 1.39 lakh transactions were recorded at toll plazas.
Rajmargyatra App Sees Surge in Downloads
MoRTH also revealed that the Rajmargyatra app, which facilitates the purchase of the FASTag Annual Pass, saw over 15 lakh downloads in the last few days. The app has moved up to second place in the travel category on the Google Play Store and is currently the top-ranking government app.
The FASTag Annual Pass allows seamless travel on national highways. The annual pass is applicable at about 1,150 toll plazas on national highways and national expressways, but does not work on state highways and expressways. The pass eliminates the need for frequent recharging, with a flat cost of ₹3,000 per annum for 200 toll plaza crossings, making it more cost-effective. The annual pass is only for private car owners and is not available for commercial vehicles.
