NHAI: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced that the annual FASTag pass pricing would be revised to ₹3,075 from the current ₹3,000 with effect from April 1, 2026.
NHAI-FASTag Annual Pass
The FASTag Annual Pass facilitates convenient and seamless travel for eligible non-commercial vehicles across approximately 1150 fee plazas on National Expressways and Highways via a one-time payment that is valid for 200 toll crossings or one year. The new toll charge would be applicable for eligible non-commercial users like vans, jeeps and cars that possess a valid FASTag.
Vehicle owners with a functional FASTag would be able to activate the yearly pass by making the required payment via the NHAI website or the Rajmarg Yatra mobile app. Typically, the pass gets activated within 2 hours for the existing FASTag associated with the vehicle.

Immediate help for small issues is offered by patrol teams. These issues relate to battery jump-start, flat tire replacement and minor mechanical troubleshooting.

All toll plazas are expected to offer clean and separate restrooms for men and women, drinking water and rest areas/seating in certain cases.
4. Road Safety Infrastructure and Assistance
Your toll fee contributes to and gives you access to crash barriers and lighting on major stretches as well as proper signage, reflectors and lane markings.
5. Continuous Highway Patrol Support
Patrol vehicles are deployed by NHAI along highways to assist stranded vehicles proactively, enforce basic safety compliance and monitor accidents and congestion for reducing response time compared to waiting for help.
