NHAI Expands Digital FASTag Local Pass Facility to 121 Toll Plazas Nationwide
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has expanded its digital FASTag Local Pass facility to 121 toll plazas nationwide. Eligible commuters residing within 20 km of these plazas can now apply for monthly passes online via the Rajmargyatra Mobile App, eliminating the need for physical visits and document submissions. This initiative, first launched in July 2026 in Delhi, aims to enhance transparency and efficiency in toll operations by integrating government digital platforms and GIS-based verification.
