India's first Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) barrier-less tolling system has been launched at the Chorayasi Toll Plaza on the Surat-Bharuch section of National Highway 48 in Gujarat. Announced by Union Road Transport & Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari, this system allows vehicles to pass through without stopping, thanks to technologies such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and FASTag. This innovative approach is designed to enhance the tolling ecosystem by reducing travel time, easing congestion, and improving fuel efficiency. Gadkari emphasized that this initiative will not only improve the 'Ease of Living' for citizens but also strengthen the 'Ease of Doing Business' by facilitating faster movement of goods. The government aims to implement similar barrier-less tolling mechanisms across all four-lane-plus expressways in India by 2029. To address any violations, electronic notices will be issued, and non-payment may lead to penalties related to vehicle services. This new system replaces the previously proposed satellite-based tolling due to security and privacy concerns.
