NHAI Introduces Multi-Lane Free Flow Tolling on Delhi-Jaipur NH-48 Section
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has launched a Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system at the Manoharpura Toll Plaza on the Delhi-Jaipur NH-48 section in Rajasthan, following an earlier rollout at Daulatpura. This barrier-free system uses Automatic Number Plate Recognition and FASTag technology to enable vehicles to pass without stopping, reducing wait times, fuel consumption, and emissions. Plans are underway to extend MLFF to the Shahjahanpur toll plaza, aiming for a seamless, digital tolling experience across the entire stretch.
