Drive Often? Pay ₹3,000 Once for Unlimited National Highway Travel for a Year – New FASTag Policy Coming Soon
The Indian government is set to revolutionize highway travel with a new FASTag policy in 2025, introducing an annual pass system that allows unlimited access to national highways for just ₹3,000 per year. This move aims to simplify toll payments, reduce frequent recharges, and enhance the driving experience for millions of commuters.
Key Highlights of the New FASTag Policy
1. Pay Once, Travel Unlimited
Under the proposed FASTag Annual Pass, vehicle owners can pay a one-time fee of ₹3,000 for unlimited travel on all national highways, expressways, and state expressways for a full year.
2. Two Flexible Payment Options
- Annual Pass (₹3,000/year) – Best for frequent travelers.
- Distance-Based Toll (₹50 per 100 km) – Ideal for occasional travelers.
3. No Additional Documentation Required
Existing FASTag users can seamlessly switch to the new system without submitting extra documents.
4. No Lifetime FASTag (Earlier ₹30,000 Plan Scrapped)
The government has dropped the previous proposal for a 15-year FASTag costing ₹30,000.
5. Fair Compensation for Toll Operators
To address revenue concerns, the Ministry of Road Transport (MoRTH) will implement a digital tracking system to ensure toll operators are fairly compensated.
When Will the New FASTag Policy Be Implemented?
The policy is currently under review, but once approved, it will offer a hassle-free, cost-effective travel solution for Indian motorists.
