FASTag Annual Pass to cost more from April 1; NHAI revises fee to ₹3,075

New Delhi: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has announced a rise in the fee for the FASTag Annual Pass from ₹3,000 to ₹3,075, starting from the 2026–27 financial year. This ₹75 hike is a routine adjustment made under the National Highways Fee Rules, 2008, which allows for annual revisions based on inflation and the Wholesale Price Index (WPI).

The new price of ₹3,075 becomes mandatory on April 1, 2026. Commuters who wish to save on the hike can renew or purchase their passes at the current rate of ₹3,000 until midnight on March 31.
