FASTag Annual Pass available from August 15: Who is eligible, how to get it
FASTag, India's electronic toll collection system, will soon offer a more convenient, once-a-year annual pass for users. The Union Ministry of Road Transport and Highways announced last week that it was rolling out a FASTag Annual Pass to enable hassle-free travel on Indian highways. The annual pass will cost Rs 3,000 and will become available for purchase from August 15 this year. This pass is only valid for non-commercial private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans. It will allow commuters to travel toll-free for 200 trips or one year from the date on which the pass is activated, whichever comes first. In addition, the annual FASTag pass will only work at toll plazas that are operated by the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). This means holders of the annual pass will still need to pay toll on state highways, private-run toll roads, and state-run expressways. The FASTag annual pass is primarily aimed at frequent commuters, and is expected to reduce congestion at toll plazas while saving costs for long-distance highway travellers. It is part of the Indian government's broader efforts to modernise road infrastructure in the country while enhancing user convenience on the national highway grid. 'By reducing wait times, easing congestion, and minimizing disputes at toll plazas, the Annual Pass aims to deliver a faster and smoother travel experience for millions of private vehicle owners,' Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said in a post on X. Important Announcement 📢 🔹In a transformative step towards hassle-free highway travel, we are introducing a FASTag-based Annual Pass priced at ₹3,000, effective from 15th August 2025. Valid for one year from the date of activation or up to 200 trips—whichever comes… — Nitin Gadkari (@nitin_gadkari) June 18, 2025 Here is a step-by-step guide to purchasing and activating the FASTag annual pass. The annual pass will be available for purchase from August 15, 2025, onwards through the Rajmarg Yatra mobile application and on the official websites of the NHAI as well as the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH). Do not use third-party websites and portals to purchase the annual pass in order to avoid being scammed. Keep these points in mind while availing the FASTag annual pass: – The vehicle must be a non-commercial, personal vehicle like a car or jeep. – It should already have an active FASTag plastered on the windshield of the vehicle. – The FASTag of the vehicle should be linked to a valid Vehicle Registration Number (VRN). – It should not be blacklisted or under dispute. Commuters also need to remember that each annual FASTag pass will be attached to a particular vehicle and cannot be transferred to other vehicles. Follow the simple steps mentioned below to activate your FASTag annual pass. – First, ensure that your FASTag is active, installed, and linked to a valid VRN. – Visit the Rajmarg Yatra mobile app or official NHAI website. – Enter vehicle details such as your registration number and FASTag ID. – Choose one of the payment options to make a single-time payment of Rs 3,000. – The annual pass will be activated once the transaction is successful. – You will also receive an SMS confirmation on your FASTag registered mobile number. To be sure, the FASTag annual pass is voluntary meaning that users who do not travel so much can continue using FASTag in the existing pay-per-user mode. However, if you travel long distances every day to-and-fro work or school, then the annual pass could offer some cost saving and convenience benefits. A user on LinkedIn did the math and figured out that high-frequency commuters could potentially end up saving Rs 5,000 to Rs 10,000 in toll fees, assuming that they take 50 trips a year or roughly one trip per week. But how do you define a trip? Trips are counted based on the type of toll system. In open or point-based toll plazas, one-way toll crossings are equivalent to one toll systems, on the other hand, count entry-to-exit as one full trip.

India's Export Revolution: How Ex-Im Is Turning Trade Data Into A Strategic Export Weapon
India, June 23, 2025: In a game-changing move for India's mid-sized exporters, The Dollar Business' EX-IM platform is revolutionising how global trade is navigated, ushering in a new era where AI and real-time data replace guesswork and outdated methods. We are seeing exporters now rediscovering growth by identifying high-demand markets, avoiding unreliable buyers, and streamlining logistics, all from a single digital dashboard. As global trade becomes increasingly complex, EX‑IM emerges as the exporter's secret weapon, enabling sharper strategies and faster pivots to secure a competitive edge in volatile markets. According to Avnish Goyal, Founder & Director, The Dollar Business, 'This is the evolution of export intelligence, giving power back to the exporters by making insight not just accessible but actionable in seconds.' Gone are the days when cold calls, luck, and blind trust drove exports. We know mid-sized exporters have often been the unsung heroes of India's economy. They don't always make headlines, but they move everything from tea to textiles across continents. Yet, many of them have flown blind, relying on fragmented knowledge, losing out to tariffs, unpredictable buyers, and clogged ports. It wasn't a lack of ambition but a lack of insight. Take the case of a small but ambitious exporter from Tamil Nadu. Coffee beans were piling up in their warehouse, their biggest buyer from Germany had gone silent, and they were on the brink of shelving their Europe expansion plan. It was then that they logged into EX-IM. Demand heatmaps revealed that Turkey's appetite for premium Indian coffee was surging. Buyer insights exposed new, active importers in Istanbul and Berlin, real companies with verified transaction histories. Route optimisation tools showed faster, cheaper shipping paths, avoiding congested European ports entirely. Tariff alerts warned them of sudden duty hikes, letting them act before costs escalated. EX‑IM pulls real-time trade data from 181+ countries and packages it into simple, strategic dashboards. For the first time, Indian exporters don't have to guess who's buying what, where, or when. It's like switching from a dusty map to Google Earth for your export strategy. Sure, a directory can give you 10,000 buyer names. But trust? That's a different story. EX‑IM doesn't just give you names; it gives you the truth behind them. The platform doesn't just name names. It shows: Shipment frequencies Transaction volumes Port consistency Import categories by buyer That means fewer surprises, more reliable contracts, and a built-in fraud shield. Some exporters call it their 'circle of trust.' We know time is money, but today it is more like survival. With EX‑IM's AI engine running 24/7, exporters can predict demand spikes before they happen. Think of it like a crystal ball that scans millions of trade documents and customs declarations to show: Which markets are heating up Where prices are trending Which routes are likely to slow down And you don't have to wait for a quarterly report. You can pivot weekly, daily, or even hourly. Exporters who once planned on spreadsheets are now strategising with heatmaps. Those who feared price wars are now using tariff intelligence to prevent them. This is a transformation rather than an upgrade. Data is the new currency. Exporters using EX-IM gain access to trade behaviour across continents, down to the product category, price, volume, and importer history. Strategy is no longer passive. With real-time dashboards, you don't just watch the market; you move with it. Speed is your competitive moat. EX-IM's alerts are instant. When a price surge happens in Eastern Europe, you know before your competitors do. This trio—data, strategy, and speed, is the new DNA for exporters wanting to dominate global trade in 2025 and beyond. Exporters using EX-IM are seeing real-world impact: Revenue boosts from identifying untapped, high-paying markets. Cost savings by avoiding overpriced freight paths and last-minute storage fees. Higher buyer retention thanks to smarter delivery timelines and better pricing intelligence. New partnerships from identifying and vetting high-frequency importers who were previously invisible. The biggest value of EX-IM? It is not just the dashboards. It is not even the data. It is the confidence exporters feel when they're equipped to make decisions quickly, strategically, and independently. You log in, see your market landscape, and execute with precision. There's no second-guessing. No sleepless nights over whether your shipment will clear or your pricing will hold. Exporting in 2025 isn't about size. It is about speed, clarity, and bold moves backed by real insight. With the Dollar Business EX‑IM platform, Indian exporters, especially mid-sized ones, are no longer underdogs. They're fast-moving, data-backed powerhouses reshaping global trade. No more blind spots. No more 'wait and see,' just sharp decisions, scalable growth, and peace of mind, delivered straight from the dashboard. For more information, please visit:

Ambient computing: Invisible tech revolution in Indian homes
Gadgets may still be around, but the way we experience them is changing fast. In 2025, Indian homes are quietly stepping into a new era. One where technology blends into the background. Welcome to the age of ambient computing, where intelligence is no longer about flashy screens or voice commands. It's about tech that works silently, automatically, and meaningfully, without you needing to lift a finger. Ambient computing is becoming an integral part of your daily lives. Ambient computing is best described as an invisible web of connected devices, sensors, and artificial intelligence working together in the background. These systems detect, learn, and adapt to your daily habits, turning your home into a responsive space that requires minimal manual input. You don't have to ask the lights to dim or the fan to start. They simply respond to context, whether it's movement in the room, the time of day, or your past preferences. It's a shift from tech that demands attention to tech that intuitively fades into the flow of life. How it's already showing up in Indian homes Across Indian households, ambient computing is already in motion. Sometimes without users even labelling it as such. Smart thermostats and lighting systems, for instance, now adjust automatically based on room occupancy, external temperatures, or even your weekday schedule. Voice assistants like Alexa and Google Nest go beyond playing music; they now coordinate entire routines, from dimming lights and turning on the AC to managing entertainment and kitchen appliances. Homes are beginning to respond to cues without needing constant supervision. Even mundane routines have quietly transformed. Doors lock when everyone leaves. Robot vacuums start once you're off to work. Geysers switch off automatically after use. And increasingly, energy meters and connected appliances track usage and adapt to reduce electricity bills, blending convenience with sustainability. In urban areas where air quality is a growing concern, sensors that detect rising PM levels are now triggering air purifiers and alerting users to ventilate their homes. These aren't isolated devices, they're parts of an intelligent network that learns and improves with time. What powers this 'Invisibility'? The smoothness of ambient computing comes from an invisible stack of technologies. Sensors embedded across homes collect data on light, temperature, motion, and even air quality. That data is processed using machine learning algorithms that figure out patterns and make predictions, so your home can anticipate needs rather than wait for instructions. Connectivity between devices via Wi-Fi, Zigbee, or emerging Matter protocols ensures every smart object works in harmony. Meanwhile, a mix of edge computing (for local tasks) and cloud processing (for updates and long-term learning) keeps everything running efficiently and securely. Why it's catching on in India Indian households are increasingly embracing this quiet tech revolution. The appeal lies in effortless convenience, less fiddling with switches or settings, more time doing what matters. For busy professionals, elderly users, or anyone looking for more intuitive living, ambient computing offers an experience that feels tailored and responsive. There's also a growing focus on personalization. Whether it's your preferred bedroom lighting at 8 p.m. or the AC switching to power-saving mode when no one's home, ambient systems adjust in real time. Add to that the energy efficiency and enhanced security, and the value becomes obvious, especially as more affordable solutions hit the market. Where it's all headed? As ambient computing continues to mature, Indian homes are evolving from smart to sensitive, capable of learning, adapting, and responding with near-human intuition. The tech doesn't shout for your attention; it simply works. And in a country where time, energy, and space are all at a premium, this invisible revolution is one that's quietly changing the way we live.
