Delhi's Barrier-Free Toll System Delayed; Trials to Start at Ghazipur Border
The Municipal Corporation of Delhi's Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) barrier-free toll system, planned for October 31, has been delayed. Installation of equipment, including Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras, is nearly complete at 20 major border points accounting for 85% of traffic. Trials are set to begin soon at locations like Ghazipur, with full implementation at these points expected within weeks if successful. Smaller border points will be covered in subsequent phases, extending the overall rollout by several months. The system aims to streamline toll collection and reduce congestion by enabling vehicles to pass without stopping.
