FASTag Annual Pass Price Increased to 3,075 from April 1: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is set to increase the annual fee for FASTag starting April 1, 2026. The annual prepaid toll plan was introduced last year at a price of ₹3,000; under this scheme, users were entitled to benefits covering either one year of travel across the country or 200 toll crossings—whichever limit was reached first. The government is now set to raise the price of this pass by ₹75. Consequently, the annual fee will rise to ₹3,075.
In a major update for highway commuters, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has revised the price of the FASTag Annual Pass. Starting April 1, 2026, users will have to pay ₹3,075 instead of ₹3,000, marking a small but important change for frequent travellers across India.
This update is part of broader efforts to streamline toll collection and improve digital highway infrastructure.
