Nitin Gadkari Launches India’s First Barrier-less Tolling System in Gujarat

Smart Mobility: The Arrival of Barrier-less Highway Tolling

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari launched India’s first Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) barrier-less tolling system at the Chorayasi Toll Plaza on NH-48 in Gujarat. This technology eliminates the need for physical toll plazas, ensuring a seamless driving experience.

How the MLFF System Works:

• Integrated Tech: Uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) with AI and FASTag (RFID) to deduct tolls while vehicles move at normal speeds.


• Efficiency: Eliminates queuing at toll booths, reducing travel time, fuel consumption, and carbon emissions.


• Digital Infrastructure: A major step toward fully automated highway management and smart mobility across India.

For TNPSC and Infrastructure aspirants, this is a key example of 'Governance through Technology' and 'Smart City Initiatives.'
