The initiative aims to make travel on national highways smoother and more cost-effective for private vehicle owners. The pass is part of the government's broader efforts to digitise and streamline road transport systems while offering financial relief and flexibility to frequent highway users.

Accessible Through Rajmarg Yatra App

Gadkari further stated that users will soon be able to activate and renew the Annual Pass using a dedicated link available on the Rajmarg Yatra App, as well as through the official websites of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH).

"The Annual Pass will enable seamless and cost-effective travel across National Highways throughout the country. A dedicated link for activation and renewal will soon be made available on the Rajmarg Yatra App as well as on the official websites of NHAI and MoRTH. 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," he added.
