This means that now drivers will be able to travel comfortably throughout the year without any interruption by taking an annual Fastag once.
This new Fastag will be applicable across the country from 15 August 2025. The duration of this Fastag will be up to 1 year or 200 trips (whichever is completed first). Let us know how you will be able to get this annual Fastag and what will be its complete process.
This is how you will get the annual Fastag
If you do not have an annual Fastag yet, then you will be able to get it very easily. Giving information about the annual Fastag pass, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari said that the government is soon going to launch a dedicated link to activate and renew it, which will make this process very easy and digital-friendly.
This link will be available on the Highway Yatra mobile app as well as the official websites of NHAI and MoRTH. Through this, users will be able to activate or renew their Fastag annual pass in just a few clicks without any manual hassle. Emphasis has been placed on making this entire process paperless, fast, and transparent. This will give an excellent digital experience to crores of private vehicle owners and save time at toll booths.
Benefits of annual Fastag
