The government will implement barrier-free toll collection at all 1,050 toll plazas across the country by 2026 and about 40 lakh annual FASTag passes have been issued in four months since August, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said on Thursday (December 18, 2025).
FASTag annual pass sees demand, commuters seek wider coverage and inclusion of commercial vehicles
Answering queries during Question Hour in the Lok Sabha, Mr. Gadkari said annual FASTag passes will allow private cars to cross 200 toll plazas at ₹3,000 a year, or an average of ₹15 per toll.
The pass is much cheaper when compared to the current cost of ₹15,000 for crossing 200 tolls.
