FASTag Annual Pass to Cost More From April 1

Balasahana Suresh
Starting April 1, 2026, highway travel in india will become slightly more expensive for frequent FASTag users because the Annual FASTag Pass fee has been revised upward by the National Highways Authority of India.

📈 Revised FASTag Annual Pass Price

  • The FASTag Annual Pass — a prepaid toll plan that allows private vehicle users to make up to 200 toll crossings in a year — will now cost ₹3,075.
  • This is an increase of ₹75 compared to the previous price of ₹3,000.
  • The new fee is effective from April 1, 2026, for the 2026–27 financial year.
🚗 Who This Affects

  • The hike applies only to the Annual Pass — users who pay tolls normally via FASTag for each crossing will still pay the usual toll rates as per the plaza charges.
  • The Annual Pass helps frequent highway travellers save on individual toll charges by offering a fixed yearly fee.
💡 Why the Increase

Officials say the revision is part of routine updates to toll pricing structures and is meant to support maintenance and operations of the national highway network. Users planning frequent travel should take note of the revised charges before april 1.

📌 Note: Apart from the annual pass price change, toll charges themselves on national highways are typically reviewed annually (often from april 1) to account for inflation and changing maintenance costs, though specific per‑toll increases — beyond the annual pass — were not detailed in today’s announcements.
