NHAI Launches OneTag: FASTag Users Can Switch Banks Without Replacing Physical Tag
· Automobile · Hindustan Times, Indian Express
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has introduced **OneTag**, a new feature on its Rajmargyatra app that allows FASTag users to change their issuing bank without replacing the physical tag on their vehicle. Under this initiative, users can port their FASTag to a new bank by verifying their vehicle registration, completing KYC, and onboarding their wallet—all while retaining the same tag. The FASTag ID remains unchanged, and the new system includes a six-month cooling period before another porting attempt. NHAI claims this will reduce costs for repeated tag production and simplify the process for the over **130 million FASTag users** across India. The move aims to expand consumer choice and streamline the FASTag ecosystem, with the Rajmargyatra app also offering additional services like FASTag Annual Pass and Local Pass purchases.
Why it matters
This change directly benefits **130 million FASTag users** by offering flexibility in choosing banks without the hassle of replacing physical tags, reducing costs and administrative burden. It also encourages competition among banks in the FASTag ecosystem, potentially improving service quality and reducing transaction fees for highway tolls.
