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.
