# NHAI expands digital FASTag Local Pass to 121 toll plazas 2026-08-25T12:25:21+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The National Highways Authority of India has made its digital FASTag Local Pass facility available at 121 toll plazas, allowing eligible residents to obtain monthly passes through the Rajmargyatra app. The pass costs Rs 350 per month for non-commercial private vehicles and allows unlimited crossings at the selected plaza for one month. The online system uses DigiLocker, VAHAN and GIS technology to verify the applicant's address, vehicle details and linked FASTag. Previously, applicants had to visit the toll plaza and submit physical documents. The move supports the rollout of barrier-less Multi-Lane Free Flow tolling, which has no human intervention at toll points. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The expansion comes as NHAI moves toward barrier-less tolling, where manual local concessions become unworkable. Residents within 20 km of a plaza accounted for a large share of unpaid toll e-notices, according to officials. The Rs 350 monthly fee may offer significant savings for daily commuters compared to per-trip tolls. The complete list of 121 covered plazas is available on the Rajmargyatra app, with further additions planned. Commuters should check whether their regular plaza is covered before applying. ## Coverage - livemint.com Straight explainer-style reporting with no discernible slant This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
