The latest FASTag pass will be valid for non-commercial private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans and for one year from the date of activation or up to 200 trips, whichever comes first.
It aims to ease toll-related grievances, especially for commuters living near toll plazas located within a 60-kilometre radius.

FAST-ag Annual Pass: How it will help
According to Gadkari, this new system intends to simplify toll payments by allowing users to make a single, upfront transaction for an entire year. The policy also addresses long-standing public concerns over frequent toll deductions during short-distance travel.By standardising access and removing the need for repeated toll payments, the government expects the Annual Pass to reduce congestion, limit disputes at toll plazas, and ensure faster movement for private vehicles across the highway network.
The initiative comes as part of broader efforts to digitise and modernise road infrastructure services while enhancing user convenience on the national highway grid.
