NHAI Expands Multi-Lane Free Flow Tolling on Delhi-Jaipur NH-48 Section
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has implemented the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system at the Manoharpura Toll Plaza on the Delhi-Jaipur NH-48 section in Rajasthan, following its initial rollout at Daulatpura Toll Plaza in June. This barrier-free system uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and FASTag technology to enable vehicles to pass without stopping, reducing waiting times, fuel consumption, and emissions. NHAI plans to extend MLFF to the Shahjahanpur toll plaza, aiming for seamless, efficient travel along the entire Delhi-Jaipur highway stretch.
