BARRIER-FREE TOLLING

Supporting India's Barrier-Free Toll Collection Initiative

NHAI is transforming highway toll collection with Multi-Lane Free Flow technology, starting with India’s first barrier-free toll plazas at Choryasi (Gujarat) and Gharaunda (Haryana).

The program aims to deploy MLFF systems across 25+ locations in FY 2025-26, eliminating physical toll barriers while maintaining accurate vehicle detection and revenue collection.

Rocket Science Technologies partners with infrastructure operators to deliver the full sensor solution stack required by modern MLFF deployments.
