Toll Tax- Good news for vehicle owners. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari has announced a major change in the toll tax rules, which is expected to provide great relief to the general public. He announced that now a FASTag pass will be made for Rs 3000, with which you can make 200 free trips within a year. He gave this information by posting a post on X.
Nitin Gadkari wrote, “In a historic initiative, a FASTag based annual pass priced at ₹3,000 is being introduced from 15th August 2025. This pass will be valid for one year from the date of activation or for 200 journeys, whichever is earlier. The Union Minister further wrote, “This pass is specially designed only for non-commercial private vehicles like cars, jeeps, vans etc. and will enable non-stop travel on National Highways across the country.”
All services will be available on the app and website
He said, “A separate link will soon be made available on the Rajmarg Yatra App and NHAI / MoRTH websites for activation / renewal of annual pass, which will make the process simple and hassle-free. “This policy will address long-standing concerns regarding toll plazas within the 60-km limit and ease the payment of toll tax through a single, cost-effective transaction,” Gadkari wrote in the post. “By reducing waiting time, reducing congestion and eliminating disputes at toll plazas, the Annual Pass policy will ensure a faster, smoother and better travel experience for millions of private motorists,” he said.
Actually, last month there was a discussion that the government is working on a new toll policy, which can make the journey on National Highway more comfortable and economical for the passengers.
