State-owned National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) is planning to roll out more MLFF tolling at national highway fee plazas during the current financial year.

The national rollout covers 17 fee plazas across nine states. All are aimed to go live by September 2026. These plazas are in states such as Gujarat, Delhi, Haryana, Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Karnataka, Maharashtra, and Assam.

An additional 108+ plazas under phase 2 will follow by March 2027.

The state-of-the-art system enables seamless toll collection without requiring vehicles to stop, using advanced technologies such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and FASTag.

The initiative is aimed at reducing queues and delays at plazas, saving fuel costs and travel time, besides giving better driving experience.
