Quick answer: no. The NHAI FASTag Annual Pass covers neither Atal Setu nor the Mumbai-Pune Expressway. Your ordinary FASTag can still be used there, but each road’s own toll rules apply. Eligible electric cars have a separate Maharashtra exemption. For 2026-27 the national pass costs Rs 3,075 and covers up to 200 eligible crossings or one year from activation, whichever comes first. If these are the only two toll roads you use, buying the pass will not save you money.

What the pass is
- Price: NHAI revised the pass from Rs 3,000 to Rs 3,075 for 2026-27, effective 1 April 2026 (All India Radio, Tribune). The 2026-27 rate is the purchase price; it is not the expiry date of an individual pass.
- Validity: one year from activation or 200 eligible toll crossings, whichever comes first.
- Who can use it: private, non-commercial cars, jeeps and vans with an active FASTag linked to the vehicle registration. The pass is tied to that FASTag.
- How to buy: through the Rajmargyatra app or the NHAI website. Reports say it activates on your existing FASTag within about two hours of payment.
Does it work on the roads you use from Navi Mumbai?
| Road | NHAI Annual Pass | What applies instead |
|---|---|---|
| Atal Setu | Not covered | The bridge’s own toll applies, and your ordinary FASTag can pay it. See our Atal Setu toll guide for current rates. |
| Mumbai-Pune Expressway | Not covered | The expressway’s own toll applies, and your ordinary FASTag can pay it. See our Navi Mumbai to Pune road guide. |
Check your exact toll plaza in the Rajmargyatra app or website before you rely on the pass. Reports name Atal Setu, the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and Samruddhi Mahamarg (the Mumbai-Nagpur Expressway) among the state-run roads where the pass is not valid (India TV, 3 September 2025). The pass is for national highways and national expressways only.
Electric cars
Maharashtra has notified a separate toll exemption for eligible electric vehicles on Atal Setu, the Mumbai-Pune Expressway and Samruddhi Mahamarg, reported as effective from 22 August 2025 (Tribune, Free Press Journal). Reports differ on which vehicle types are covered, so electric car owners should confirm their eligibility with the toll operator. An electric car owner does not need the annual pass for these two roads.
Is it worth buying?
| If this is how you drive | What the pass is worth to you |
|---|---|
| Only Atal Setu and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway | Rs 0 in savings on those two roads. The national pass will not reduce those tolls. |
| A mix of state roads and eligible national-highway plazas | Count only the tolls you would otherwise pay at eligible plazas. Leave Atal Setu and the Mumbai-Pune Expressway out of the sum. |
| You regularly use eligible plazas | Check your own FASTag transactions. Example: if each eligible crossing would otherwise cost Rs 100, then 30 crossings cost Rs 3,000 and 31 cost Rs 3,100, so at 31 the Rs 3,075 pass starts saving money. Rs 100 is an illustration, not a quoted Maharashtra toll. |
Check before you travel
- Open the Rajmargyatra app or website and check each toll plaza on your route.
- A plaza that accepts FASTag is not necessarily covered by the annual pass. Only eligible NHAI plazas honour it.
- Keep your FASTag active and fixed to the windscreen.
