Jio Payments Bank has secured the crucial contract for implementing the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system, marking a major step in India’s transition to barrier-free toll collection. This will streamline toll payments, reduce congestion, and enhance efficiency on national highways using AI and RFID technologies.

Jio Payments Bank has emerged as the winning bidder for the implementation and operation of the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system, a groundbreaking project aimed at transforming toll collection on Indian highways. This strategic contract places Jio Payments Bank at the forefront of the country’s push towards digitized, seamless toll payments, promising quicker, more convenient travel for millions of motorists.

The MLFF system is a next-generation toll collection solution that eliminates traditional toll booths. Instead of stopping vehicles for manual or single-lane payments, the MLFF employs cutting-edge technology—including RFID readers, and Artificial Intelligence-powered Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras—to identify, classify, and charge vehicles in multiple lanes without disrupting traffic flow.

Key Highlights:

Barrier-Free Travel: Enables vehicles to pass through toll points without stopping, significantly reducing congestion, wait times, and vehicle emissions, aligning with India’s green transportation goals.

Advanced Technology: The system integrates three key components—front and rear ANPR cameras and RFID FASTag readers—ensuring accurate identification and billing of toll fees.

Seamless Payment Processing: Transactions are instantly captured and transmitted to Jio Payments Bank, which verifies payments with the National Payments Corporation of India (NPCI) and debits FASTag wallets efficiently.

Operational Excellence: Jio Payments Bank will manage end-to-end operations, including system design, deployment, maintenance, and customer service, ensuring smooth functioning over the contract period.

Initial Rollout: The MLFF system will be piloted at select toll plazas, including the high-traffic National Highway 344M Urban Extension Road-II (UER II) project, with plans to expand nationally.

Improved Toll Revenue: Enhanced accuracy and transparency in toll collection are expected to reduce revenue leakages and improve government toll earnings significantly.

Public-Private Partnership: The project represents a concerted effort between the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL), and Jio, demonstrating effective collaboration for infrastructure modernization.

Future Expansion: Success in MLFF implementation paves the way for broader adoption across India, revolutionizing how tolling contributes to national mobility and logistics efficiency.

This contract win reinforces Jio Payments Bank’s position as a key player in India’s digital payment ecosystem and a driver of tech-enabled infrastructure development.
