Union minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday said India is moving towards fully digital and eventually barrier-free tolling, with a multi-lane free flow (MLFF) system expected to be operational at toll plazas by February as the government seeks to eliminate stoppages, cut fuel consumption and reduce the cost of toll operations.
Speaking at the Global Fintech Fest, Gadkari said FASTag has already transformed toll collection by sharply reducing waiting times and eliminating the need for cash and change at toll plazas. The next step, he said, is to ensure vehicles do not have to stop at toll plazas at all.
