Jio Payments Bank Wins Contract for FASTag-Based MLFF Toll System on Gurugram–Jaipur Route

Jio Payments Bank Limited (JPBL), a digital-first payments bank and a subsidiary of Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL), has won a major contract to implement the FASTag Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)-based Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) toll collection system at two toll plazas — Shahjahanpur and Manoharpura — located between Gurugram and Jaipur.

The MLFF tolling system is an advanced electronic toll collection technology that allows vehicles to pass through toll plazas without stopping or slowing down. It uses a mix of technologies such as Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC), and Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) to automatically identify, classify, and charge vehicles. This ensures faster, contactless toll collection, reduces congestion, and enhances convenience for commuters.

The two plazas were part of a tender issued by the Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL) under India’s pilot MLFF project, which aims to create seamless, barrier-free travel across national highways. So far, five MLFF bids have been awarded under the project, and Jio Payments Bank has secured two of them, showcasing its strong position in the tolling technology space.

Winning this contract marks a major milestone for JPBL, which started its FASTag-based toll processing operations in July 2025. The bank currently manages toll operations at 11 toll plazas across various highways as an acquirer bank. With the addition of the Shahjahanpur and Manoharpura projects, JPBL is strengthening its presence in India’s digital tolling and infrastructure payments ecosystem.

For its toll management operations, JPBL plans to collaborate with Jio Platforms to use its advanced digital capabilities. As India rapidly expands both its physical and digital infrastructure, Jio Payments Bank aims to play a key role in modernizing toll payments and enhancing commuter experience.

Speaking on the achievement, Vinod Easwaran, Managing Director & CEO of Jio Payments Bank Limited, said:

“Our expansion into the tolling ecosystem is a natural step in our mission to digitize everyday payments and build smart financial infrastructure at scale. This milestone reflects our commitment to providing seamless, citizen-centric financial services while driving access, efficiency, and inclusion across India. By leveraging the group’s strong digital capabilities, we are building the foundation to participate actively in India’s evolving mobility ecosystem.”
