NH‑48 Tolling to Go Barrier‑Free from August 1
A big road in India, called NH‑48, runs from Gurugram to Jaipur.
Usually, cars stop at toll booths to pay money.
Starting August 1, all the toll booths on this 270‑km stretch will let cars drive through without stopping.
Special machines will read a tag on the car and the license plate to take the toll automatically.
This will make traffic move faster and help the air stay cleaner.
The system is already working at some toll booths and will soon be added to more places across the country.
From August 1, the 270‑km Gurugram‑Jaipur corridor on NH‑48 will become barrier‑free, eliminating toll‑plaza stops.
The Multi‑Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system is already live at Daulatpura and Manoharpura toll plazas; Shahjahanpur will go live on August 1.
Vehicles will pass toll points without stopping; RFID readers and ANPR cameras read FASTag and licence plates to deduct toll automatically.
The system aims to reduce congestion and vehicle emissions along the busy NH‑48 corridor.
IHMCL has awarded contracts to extend MLFF to 12 more toll plazas across several states, expanding the network beyond NH‑48.
