Commuters travelling between Gurugram and Jaipur on National Highway-48 (NH-48) are expected to enjoy uninterrupted journeys from August 1, as the final toll plaza on the corridor prepares to adopt the Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system.
With the Shahjahanpur toll plaza in Rajasthan likely to go live under the MLFF system, the entire 270-kilometre Gurugram–Jaipur corridor will become barrier-free, eliminating the need for vehicles to stop at toll booths.
The MLFF system has already been implemented at the Daulatpura and Manoharpura toll plazas on NH-48.
Shahjahanpur was the only remaining toll plaza on the Gurugram–Jaipur route yet to transition to the new technology. Once operational, motorists will be able to travel across the corridor without stopping for toll payments.
The Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system uses advanced technology to collect tolls automatically while vehicles continue moving.
The system relies on:
- FASTag-based RFID readers
- Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras
- Automatic toll deduction without stopping vehicles
This technology eliminates physical barriers and reduces congestion at toll plazas.
The barrier-free tolling system is expected to provide several advantages:
- Faster travel with no waiting at toll plazas
- Reduced traffic congestion
- Lower fuel consumption
- Reduced vehicle emissions
- Improved highway efficiency
- Smoother driving experience
Officials believe the system will significantly improve travel on one of India’s busiest highway corridors.
Motorists using the MLFF corridor must ensure that their FASTag accounts have sufficient balance.
If a vehicle has:
- Insufficient FASTag balance
- Invalid FASTag
- Non-functional FASTag
an Electronic Notice (E-Notice) will be issued.
Users must clear the toll payment within 72 hours. Failure to do so will result in a penalty of double the applicable toll amount.
The MLFF system is currently operational at several toll plazas across the country, including:
- Choryasi (Gujarat)
- Mundka (Delhi)
- Gharaunda (Haryana)
- Manoharpura (Rajasthan)
- Daulatpura (Rajasthan)
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), through the Indian Highways Management Company Ltd. (IHMCL), has also awarded contracts for additional toll plazas in states including Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Assam and Haryana.
According to the Economic Survey 2025–26, MLFF tolling is planned for all four-lane and above national highways and expressways by March 2029.
Officials said that once the Kukrola (shifted Khedki Daula) toll plaza also transitions to the MLFF system, the entire Delhi–Jaipur stretch of NH-48 will operate without physical toll barriers.
This marks another step towards modernising India’s highway infrastructure and improving the overall travel experience.
