The FASTag Annual Pass is not available for all vehicle types. It applies exclusively to private, non-commercial cars, jeeps, and vans.
The Government of India, on August 15, launched a new FASTag annual pass to make toll payments easier and more affordable for frequent road users. The pass costs Rs. 3,000 and includes 200 trips in a year (or until the trip limit is used up). Each time you cross a toll, it is counted as one trip. However, this annual pass isn’t valid on all highways. It only works on highways and expressways that are managed by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI).
