Current Affairs - State - Discussion

India’s first Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system will be implemented at the Choryasi Fee Plaza on NH-48 in Gujarat. This advanced tolling technology eliminates physical barriers, using FASTag, RFID readers, and Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras for seamless, electronic toll collection. The system reduces congestion, saves travel time, lowers fuel consumption, and cuts vehicle emissions while ensuring transparent toll revenue collection. The initiative was formalised through an agreement between Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL), promoted by NHAI, and ICICI Bank. Gujarat thus becomes the first state to pioneer this barrier-free tolling system in India.
