Multi-lane free flow toll collection by 2026-end, says Nitin Gadkari

India will roll out MLFF tolling nationwide by end-2026, enabling pay-as-you-drive travel, eliminating toll booths and cutting wait times and fuel losses

The Centre’s latest intervention to make highway use seamless and reduce leakages, Multi Lane Free Flow (MLFF) toll collection, will be implemented across the country by the end of next year, Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari informed Parliament on Wednesday. 

“Multi-lane free flow toll is a very good facility. Earlier, we had to pay at the toll and it would take 3 to 10 minutes; then, due to FastTag, the time has come down to 60 seconds or less. Our income has increased by at least ₹5,000 crore. After MLFF came, replacing FastTag, cars can now cross the toll at a maximum of 80 km per hour, and no one will be stopped at the toll,” he said in response to a question in the Rajya Sabha. 

AI-driven highway management system will be rolled out across India by 2026-end, said Gadkari. 

Commuters will not have to wait any longer at toll plazas.
