FASTag Annual Pass Surpasses One Crore Users Since August Launch
The FASTag Annual Pass has surpassed one crore users since its launch on August 15 last year, according to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. Applicable at about 1,150 toll plazas on national highways and expressways, the pass allows non-commercial vehicles to pay a one-time fee of Rs 3,075 for one year or 200 toll crossings, eliminating frequent recharges. Activation occurs via the Rajmargyatra app on existing FASTags. The National Highways Authority of India also introduced 'OneTag' for FASTag portability, enhancing user convenience and flexibility.
