By Arun Kumar Das
New Delhi, June 19: National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has installed the barrier-free Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) based tolling system at the Daulatpura Toll Plaza on the Delhi-Jaipur section of NH-48 in Rajasthan.
The MLFF framework introduces barrier-less tolling with minimal human intervention, enabling vehicles to pass through toll locations without stopping and ensuring seamless traffic flow.
The system integrates Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology with FASTag-based Electronic Toll Collection to facilitate automated user fee collection with minimal human intervention.
Following the launch at Daulatpur, NHAI is also planning to install transit toll plazas at Shahjahanpur and Manoharpur to MLFF system.
Earlier, NHAI has installed MLFF based tolling system at the Chorayasi Toll Plaza on the Surat–Bharuch section of NH-48 in Gujarat and at the Mundka Bakkarwala Toll Plaza on the Urban
For MLFF experience, National Highway users are required to maintain sufficient balance in their FASTag accounts.
In case of scenarios such as insufficient FASTag balance, invalid or non-functional FASTag, users are issued an Electronic Notice (E-Notice) for non-payment of user fee. Such users are required to pay normal user fees within 72 hours of the E-Notice.
In case of non-compliance after 72 hours, the user fee will be charged at twice the normal rate of the vehicle category.
Users can also raise grievances within 72 hours of issuance of E-Notice. Non-payment of E-Notices may result in blacklisting of FASTag and restriction of other vehicle-related services through the VAHAN platform. The enforcement of the E-Notice system has already been implemented by the authorities. (BVI)
