This is a big step towards barrier-free tolling, which will make electronic toll collection possible without stopping through fastag. The Choriyasi toll plaza at Gujarat will be the country’s first barrier-free toll plaza. In addition, an agreement has been reached with ICICI Bank to implement multi-lane free flow based toll system at Gharaunda toll plaza in Haryana located on NH-44.

New tolling system will be more efficient, transparent and user-friendly
Santosh Kumar Yadav, president of the National Highways Authority of India, said that this agreement to implement a multi-lane free flow tolling system is an important step in the development and modernization of tolling in the country. Taking advantage of technology, it will lay the foundation of a more efficient, transparent and user-friendly tolling ecosistum that will be in line with our approach to technology-powered changes in National Highway Operations and will pave the way to adopt it across the country.
How MLFF System will work
Multi-lane free flow tolling is a barrier-free tolling system that enables transactions by reading fastag and vehicle registration number (VRN) by high-performance RFID readers and ANPR cameras. It enables non-stop toll collections without stopping trains on toll plazas, which reduces congestion and travel time. In addition, this increases fuel efficiency and reduces emissions. Implementation of multi-lane free flow will improve toll revenue collections and will also help in creating a more smart, fast and skilled national highway network across the country.
