Manesar to Jaipur travel gets faster with a barrier-free toll system

The MLFF tolling system has started operating at the Shahjahanpur toll plaza on NH-48. The barrier-free setup is aimed at cutting delays, congestion and fuel-wasting stops for commuters.The MLFF tolling system has started operating at the Shahjahanpur toll plaza on NH-48. Commuters travelling between Manesar and Jaipur can now enjoy a smoother and faster journey as the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) Tolling System has become operational at the Shahjahanpur toll plaza on National Highway-48. The new system eliminates the need for vehicles to stop at toll booths, helping reduce congestion and travel time.The MLFF tolling system integrates FASTag-based Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) with Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology. Vehicles are identified electronically as they pass through the tolling point, allowing toll charges to be deducted automatically without stopping.WHAT IS THE MLFF TOLLING SYSTEM?The Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) Tolling System is a modern toll collection mechanism designed to enable uninterrupted vehicle movement. Instead of slowing down or halting at toll plazas, vehicles pass through dedicated tolling points while cameras and sensors identify the vehicle using FASTag and ANPR technology.The objective is to improve traffic flow, minimise delays, and make highway travel more efficient. HOW THE NEW SYSTEM WORKSUnder the MLFF system:FASTag readers detect the vehicle's FASTag. ANPR cameras capture the vehicle's registration number.Toll charges are deducted automatically from the linked FASTag account.Vehicles continue their journey without stopping at the toll point.This barrier-free process significantly reduces waiting time, especially during peak travel hours.BENEFITS FOR COMMUTERSThe introduction of MLFF tolling on the Manesar-Jaipur stretch offers several advantages:Faster and uninterrupted travelReduced traffic congestion at toll plazasLower fuel consumption due to fewer stopsReduced vehicular emissionsImproved overall highway efficiencyThe system is expected to enhance the travel experience for both daily commuters and long-distance travellers using NH-48.KEEP YOUR FASTAG RECHARGEDAuthorities have advised National Highway users to ensure that their FASTag accounts have sufficient balance before travelling. Since toll deductions take place automatically while vehicles are in motion, maintaining an active and adequately funded FASTag account is essential for a seamless journey.With the MLFF Tolling System now operational at Shahjahanpur, the Manesar-Jaipur corridor takes another step towards smarter, technology-driven highway infrastructure aimed at making road travel faster, cleaner and more convenient.- EndsPublished By: Chaitanya DhawanPublished On: Aug 1, 2026 11:02 IST
