NHAI launches mobile App MyFASTag and FASTag Partner

National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) launched two mobile apps – MyFASTag and FASTag Partner to facilitate the availability of FASTags for Electronic Toll Collection. Speaking on the occasion the NHAI Chairman Deepak Kumar said the cumbersome method of purchase and recharge of FASTags has been one of the major challenges with the ETC project. The mobile Apps launched will ease the process, making it possible to buy or recharge FASTags at the click of a mobile button.

MyFASTag is a consumer app that can be downloaded from the app store for both Android and iOS systems. A consumer can purchase or recharge FASTags on this app. The app also helps to keep track of transactions and provides for online grievance redressal.

FASTag Partner is a merchant app. Agencies like common services centre, banking partners and vehicle dealers can sell and enroll FASTag through this App. In addition to this, the app can also be used to activate the RFID tags that came built in with around 74 lakh cars in the country following the 2013 Gazette Notification in this regard. These RFID tags are already fixed on the cars but are dormant. This App will convert these RFID tags into ETC Tag (FASTag).
