Mumbai, October 13 (Daily Kiran): Jio Payments Bank Limited (JPBL), a subsidiary of Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL), has made a major stride in India’s digital infrastructure ecosystem by securing a contract to implement the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)-based Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system on the Shahjahanpur and Manoharpura toll plazas between Gurugram and Jaipur.
The MLFF tolling system represents the next generation of electronic toll collection, enabling vehicles to pass through toll plazas without slowing down or stopping. It combines advanced technologies such as RFID, ANPR, Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC), and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS) to ensure barrier-free, contactless toll operations, reducing congestion and enhancing commuter convenience.
These toll plazas form part of the pilot MLFF project tendered by the Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL), which aims to bring seamless, frictionless vehicular movement to India’s national highways. Out of the five MLFF bids awarded so far, Jio Payments Bank has won two, showcasing its growing influence in this emerging digital tolling segment.
Strengthening India’s Digital Infrastructure
This milestone builds on JPBL’s FASTag-based toll processing operations, which began in July 2025. The bank already manages 11 toll plazas nationwide as an acquirer bank. With the addition of these two MLFF projects, JPBL is expanding its footprint in infrastructure-linked financial services, combining payments expertise with digital innovation.
JPBL is also leveraging synergies with Jio Platforms, integrating robust digital connectivity and AI-driven capabilities to support the nation’s highway digitisation efforts. The company aims to contribute to India’s broader transformation through smart mobility solutions and intelligent payment infrastructure.
Leadership Vision
Commenting on the development, Vinod Easwaran, Managing Director & CEO of Jio Payments Bank Limited, said:
“Our expansion into the tolling ecosystem is a natural progression of our mission to digitise everyday payments and build smart financial infrastructure at scale. This milestone reflects our commitment to delivering seamless, citizen-centric financial services and driving access, efficiency, and inclusion across the country.”
With India entering an era of rapid physical and digital infrastructure development, Jio Payments Bank’s role in the MLFF tolling system underscores its position as a key enabler of the nation’s next-gen mobility ecosystem.
