NHAI raises annual pass fee to ₹3,075 from April 1, 2026, streamlining toll payments for FASTag users.
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Sunday (March 15, 2026) said it has increased the rate of its annual pass by ₹75 to ₹3,075 for the next 2026-27 financial year.
The annual pass facility was launched on August 15, 2025, to provide financial relief to commuters using national highways.
In a statement, NHAI said it is revising the applicable fee for the FASTag Annual Pass from the current ₹3,000 to ₹3,075 for the FY27.
Effective April 1, the revision in the fee has been carried out in accordance with the provisions of the National Highways Fee (Determination of Rates and Collection) Rules, 2008, National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) said.
With over 56 lakh users, the adoption of the FASTag Annual Pass has been growing among private vehicle owners.
The revised rate will be applicable for eligible non-commercial vehicles with a valid FASTag seeking to avail the Annual Pass facility at about 1,150 fee plazas on National Highways and National Expressways.
The U.S. has launched two investigations under Section 301 of the Trade Act of 1974 against India and other economies to examine practices that may be ‘unreasonable or discriminatory and burden or restrict U.S. commerce’. One probe examines whether countries, including India, are using excess manufacturing capacity to export to the U.S. in a manner that hurts American businesses, while another looks at whether countries have taken ‘sufficient steps’ to prohibit imports of goods produced with forced labour.
