Personal automobiles can now use an annual toll go at no cost passage via toll plazas on nationwide highways and expressways, with every go priced at Rs 3,000.

The go is legitimate for one yr from activation or for 200 toll journeys, whichever happens first. When the restrict is reached, the FASTag mechanically switches to plain pay-per-trip mode. For point-based toll plazas, every one-way crossing counts as a visit, and a return counts as two. In closed or ticketed techniques, an entire entry-to-exit journey counts as one journey.
Some FASTags, particularly these issued for brand new automobiles, could solely be registered with the automobile’s chassis quantity. The Annual Go can’t be activated on such FASTags and they need to be up to date to incorporate the whole automobile registration quantity.
The go is accessible for buy by way of the Rajmarg Yatra cell app, NHAI or MoRTH web sites, or authorised FASTag issuer portals. Cost for the go (Rs 3,000) might be made by way of UPI, debit or bank card, or internet banking. FASTag pockets balances can’t be used for this goal. Activation is often accomplished inside two hours and confirmed by SMS.
The typical toll for a passenger automobile is about Rs 50. Finishing 200 journeys in a yr with out the go would price round Rs 10,000. With the annual go, the fee is mounted at Rs. 3,000, which saves about Rs. 7,000 for frequent freeway travellers.
