FASTag Annual Pass: Step-by-Step Guide for Activation, Benefits and Usage (2025–26)

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has introduced a new convenience for frequent travellers: the FASTag Annual Pass. Launched on 15 August 2025, this prepaid pass allows private vehicle owners to make up to 200 toll trips on designated National Highways and Expressways without having to repeatedly top up their FASTag wallets. Priced at ₹3,000 for the 2025–26 period, the pass is valid for either 200 trips or one year from the date of activation, whichever comes first. It is currently available for private cars, jeeps and vans only.

With seamless travel and hassle-free toll payments, the annual pass is designed to save time, improve ease of travel and promote adoption of cashless systems on highways.
