FASTag yearly: Will it work across the country or only on one toll plaza?
To clear the confusion around whether the pass will allow access to all tolls across India or just through one particular toll, Gadkari said, “The Annual Pass will enable seamless and cost-effective travel across National Highways throughout the country.”
He adds, “This policy addresses long-standing concerns regarding toll plazas located within a 60 km range and simplifies toll payments through a single, affordable transaction. By reducing wait times, easing congestion, and minimizing disputes at toll plazas, the Annual Pass aims to deliver a faster and smoother travel experience for millions of private vehicle owners.”
