Jio Payments Bank Secures Dual MLFF Toll Contracts, Pioneering India’s Next-Gen Highway Payments
Jio Payments Bank Limited (JPBL), a subsidiary of Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL), has taken a major step into India’s next-generation tolling ecosystem. The bank has bagged a prestigious contract to deploy an Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)-based Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system at two key plazas — Shahjahanpur and Manoharpura — on the Gurugram-Jaipur highway.
The MLFF technology marks a revolutionary shift from traditional toll booths, enabling vehicles to pass through toll points without stopping or slowing down. Leveraging an advanced mix of Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), ANPR, Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC), and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) technologies, the system ensures real-time, contactless toll processing across multiple lanes — reducing congestion and enhancing commuter convenience.
These toll projects have been awarded as part of the Indian Highways Management Company Limited’s (IHMCL) national pilot initiative for MLFF implementation, aimed at enabling uninterrupted vehicular movement on Indian highways. Out of five MLFF tenders awarded so far, Jio Payments Bank has successfully secured two, underlining its growing leadership in this high-tech payment domain.
This achievement builds on JPBL’s expanding presence in digital highway payments, following the start of its FASTag-based toll acquisition operations in July 2025. The bank currently manages toll collection across 11 plazas nationwide. With these new MLFF contracts, JPBL strengthens its position as a key enabler of India’s infrastructure-driven digital payments transformation.
To further enhance toll operations, JPBL plans to integrate its processes with Jio Platforms’ digital ecosystem, combining physical infrastructure with robust digital solutions. As India experiences a digital and physical infrastructure boom, JPBL aims to play a catalytic role in enhancing efficiency, convenience, and transparency across the mobility sector.
Vinod Easwaran, Managing Director & CEO of Jio Payments Bank Limited, said, “Our venture into the MLFF tolling system aligns perfectly with our goal to digitize everyday transactions and build intelligent financial infrastructure at scale. This milestone reinforces our dedication to citizen-centric financial innovation, contributing to a seamless, inclusive, and connected India.”
