NHAI makes MLFF barrierless tolling operational at Paranur toll plaza in Tamil Nadu

Paranur, Tamil Nadu1 Oct 2026

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has rolled out Tamil Nadu’s first multi-lane free flow (MLFF) barrierless tolling system at the Paranur Toll Plaza on the Tambaram–Tindivanam section of NH-179B. The system uses automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) along with FASTag-based electronic toll collection to allow vehicles to pass without stopping, according to an NHAI release cited in the report.

Why it matters

Barrierless MLFF tolling can reduce queueing and idling at the plaza, improving travel time and fuel efficiency while lowering emissions on this highway section.
