The Indian government has made it easier to pay for tolls on the highway. You can now get a FASTag Annual Pass using the ‘Rajmargyatra’ app on your phone. This is a good deal for people who travel a lot. For a one-time payment of ₹3000, you can go through any toll booth on national highways up to 200 times. Each time you go through a toll booth, it counts as one trip.
Annual Pass vs. Regular Toll: How Much Can You Save?
With the annual pass, each trip through a toll booth costs only ₹15 (₹3000 / 200 trips). Let’s see how this compares to the normal toll prices on the road from Bangalore to Tirupati:
| Toll Plaza | Regular Toll (₹) | Annual Pass Cost (₹) | Savings (₹) |
|---|---|---|---|
| Hoskote | 25 | 15 | 10 |
| Mulbagal | 90 | 15 | 75 |
| Nangli | 35 | 15 | 20 |
| Mahasamudram | 100 | 15 | 85 |
| Gadanki | 125 | 15 | 110 |
| Total (One-Way) | 375 | 75 | 300 |
As you can see, the annual pass saves you a lot of money at each toll booth. A one-way trip from Bangalore to Tirupati would cost only ₹75 with the annual pass, but ₹375 without it. That’s a saving of ₹300 for just one trip!
