The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has started installing signage boards to provide information about local monthly passes and annual passes.

NHAI toll plaza signage board: The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) on Friday launched signage boards at toll plazas to provide more transparent information to the public. Under this scheme, complete information about local monthly and annual passes will now be displayed at every toll plaza. NHAI stated that this move is aimed at raising awareness among the public.

To provide information about where these passes are issued, their prices, and the process for obtaining them, signage has been posted at the toll plaza's entry gates, customer service centers, and other entrances and exits, making it easily accessible to all visitors.

NHAI gave information

NHAI stated that this initiative will increase public awareness of local monthly and annual passes. These signs will be displayed in Hindi and local languages.

NHAI has also directed all its regional offices to install these boards at toll plazas within 30 days. The information should be clearly visible both day and night. NHAI will also upload this information to the Highway Travel mobile application and NHAI-related project websites. 

What is the Monthly Local Pass and Annual Pass?

Those who live within 20 kilometers (or a fixed distance) of any toll plaza and travel daily in their own vehicle can obtain a monthly local pass. To obtain the pass, they must provide their Aadhaar card, vehicle registration certificate, and proof of local residency. The toll plaza helpdesk will then generate your monthly pass.

For an annual pass, you will need to pay a one-time fee of ₹3,000. You can purchase the annual pass through the HighwayYatra app or through FASTag recharge. The annual pass allows you to cross the toll plaza 200 times per year or up to 200 times. The annual pass is only available for private vehicles.
