In a move that will make highway users stop only for admiration and not confusion, the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has directed its field offices to prominently display information about Local Monthly Passes and Annual Passes at all fee plazas across the country. Because nothing says “good governance” like knowing your toll rates before the boom barrier comes down.
The new signage—soon to appear at entry ramps, exits, and customer service areas—will clearly mention eligibility, rates, and procedures for availing these passes. The displays will feature trilingual clarity in English, Hindi, and regional languages, ensuring that even your GPS feels more informed. NHAI has set a 30-day deadline for its teams to install these signs, with strict orders that they must shine both in sunlight and under the watchful glow of highway floodlights.
To make sure this initiative doesn’t get stuck in a traffic jam of paperwork, details will also be uploaded on the Rajmargyatra app and project websites—so digital users can learn about toll benefits without lowering their car windows.
For the everyday commuter living within 20 km of a toll plaza, the Local Monthly Pass remains the golden ticket to cost-effective mobility—available with just an Aadhaar, vehicle RC, and address proof at the plaza helpdesk. Meanwhile, the Annual Pass—priced at ₹3,000 for one year or 200 crossings—promises a year of seamless road trips, activated instantly through Rajmargyatra on your FASTag.
With over 1,150 fee plazas now covered under these transparent reforms, NHAI’s message is clear: the only thing opaque on Indian highways should be your car’s sun film.
In short—no more guessing games at toll gates; just read, pay, and zoom.
