New Delhi: The National Highways Authority of India has extended the online FASTag Local Pass facility to 121 toll plazas nationwide, enabling eligible commuters to buy monthly local passes through the Rajmargyatra mobile app, an official statement said Tuesday.
The Online Local Pass enables eligible commuters to subscribe the monthly Local pass online through the Rajmargyatra Mobile App, eliminating the need for physical visits to toll plazas and manual submission of supporting documents, the statement from Ministry of Road Transport & Highways said.
The initiative will make National Highway travel more seamless and citizen-centric by leveraging technology to enhance transparency and efficiency of the tolling operations, the statement noted.
The first Digital Local Pass facility was launched in July 2026 at the Mundka–Bakkarwala Toll Plaza on Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II) in Delhi.
The facility has since been expanded to over 120 toll plazas across the country and will be rolled out to more toll plazas across the country in the coming months.
Under the Digital Local Pass framework, residents residing within a 20 km radius of an eligible toll plaza can apply for the Local Pass through Rajmargyatra Mobile App. The pass permits unlimited travel through the respective toll plaza during the month, subject to applicable provisions.
Previously, commuters had to visit toll plazas in person and submit documents to prove residential address and meet other eligibility requirements.
The Digital Local Pass facility leverages consent-based integration with Government digital platforms, including DigiLocker and VAHAN, to retrieve and verify relevant information such as the commuter’s residential address, vehicle details and linked FASTag.
Eligibility is further established through GIS-based verification, which determines whether the applicant’s registered address falls within the prescribed 20 km radius of the eligible toll plaza.
“The system also reduces scope for manual intervention and streamlines the delivery of local toll services to eligible commuters,” the statement noted.
