The Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways launched the One Tag system on 11 September 2026 at the Global Fintech Fest 2026 in Mumbai.
One Tag lets a FASTag user change the backend issuing bank without removing or replacing the physical sticker on the windshield.
Porting is done digitally by linking the existing tag to a new bank account through NHAI's Rajmarg Yatra mobile app; earlier, users had to close the old account, buy a new tag and scrape off the old sticker.
About 13 crore FASTags have been issued in India, and digital collection now covers more than 98% of national highway user fees.
The government has targeted average waiting time at national highway toll plazas of under 10 seconds by the end of the current financial year, and is developing AI-driven barrier-free tolling.
Portability separates the identifier from the service provider. In One Tag the RFID tag stays the constant identifier on the vehicle while the bank behind it becomes replaceable, so switching costs the user nothing physical.
Simple Analogy: Keep the phone number, change the operator.
Manages tolling across much of the national highway network, runs the Rajmarg Yatra app through which porting is done, and is developing AI-driven barrier-free tolling
