NHAI Expands Online FASTag Local Pass Service to 121 Plazas

Commuters Within 20 km Can Apply for Passes Online 

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has expanded its online FASTag Local Pass facility to 121 toll plazas nationwide. According to the Business Standard, the facility allows eligible commuters to apply for monthly local passes digitally.

The Ministry of Road Transport & Highways said commuters can subscribe through the Rajmargyatra Mobile App. They no longer need to visit toll plazas or submit supporting documents manually.

Digital Local Pass Launched In July

NHAI introduced the first Digital Local Pass facility in July 2026. The facility was launched at the Mundka-Bakkarwala toll plaza on Delhi’s Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II).

The initiative uses technology to simplify national highway travel for eligible local commuters. It also focuses on improving transparency and efficiency in tolling operations.

Local Pass Eligibility Limited to 20 km

Residents living within 20 km of an eligible toll plaza can apply for a Local Pass through the Rajmargyatra Mobile App.

The pass allows eligible commuters to make unlimited journeys through the concerned toll plaza during the month. The facility remains subject to the applicable provisions.

National Highway users can check the list of eligible toll plazas on the Rajmargyatra website.

Digital Verification Replaces Physical Documents

Previously, applicants had to visit the concerned toll plaza to obtain a local pass. They also had to submit documents proving their residential address and other eligibility conditions.

The digital system uses consent-based integration with government platforms, including DigiLocker and VAHAN. These platforms help retrieve and verify the commuter’s address, vehicle details and linked FASTag.

GIS System Verifies Local Eligibility

NHAI also uses GIS-based verification to establish whether applicants meet the location requirement. The system checks if the registered address falls within the prescribed 20-km radius.

This verification forms part of the eligibility process for obtaining the Digital Local Pass at participating toll plazas.
