The cost of FASTag annual pass for private vehicles will increase by 2.5 per cent to ₹3,075 from April 1. At present, the annual pass costs ₹3,000, which allows cars to cross 200 toll plazas without stopping. The pass can be recharged multiple times in a year.
Officials said the provision for annual revision of the price was mentioned when the FASTag annual pass was notified by the road transport ministry. The pass has been a runaway success with more than 52 lakh highway car users subscribing to the annual pass since Aug 15.
“The increase is in line with the formula for revision of highway toll across the country, which happens every year. Those who recharge by this month can buy it paying ₹3,000,” said an officer.
