Union Road Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari inaugurated Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling at the Mundka-Bakkarwala plaza on Delhi’s Urban Extension Road-II. The barrier-less system lets vehicles cross without stopping, using FASTag detection and Automatic Number Plate Recognition to automatically deduct tolls while in motion. It aims to cut waiting time and congestion, improve fuel efficiency, and lower emissions for daily commuters. If balance is insufficient or there’s a fault, an Electronic Notice provides 72 hours to pay.

NHAI has rolled out India’s first stop-free, barrier-less toll system on NH-48 in Gujarat. Using an MLFF framework, the approach removes physical toll barriers and minimizes human intervention so vehicles can move through toll locations without stopping, aiming to reduce delays and keep traffic flowing smoothly.
Delhi is testing barrierless tolling through Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) at the Mundka toll plaza. Vehicles will pass through without stopping while tolls are deducted automatically via FASTag. The system is expected to go live by mid-May, cutting waiting times and easing congestion, with plans to expand from Mundka to 17 plazas and further.
India plans to introduce barrier-free, seamless toll collection on national highways by December, using FASTag and AI camera systems such as ANPR. Vehicles are expected to pass through toll points without stopping, with charges collected automatically. The government says the move will cut logistics costs and help align India’s logistics efficiency with global benchmarks.
