Revolutionizing Traffic Movement: Bosch Mobility Platform and IDFC FIRST Bank’s MLFF Tolling System Sets New Benchmark in India

The Bosch Mobility Platform and Solutions and IDFC FIRST Bank’s Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system has set a new benchmark in India’s digital public infrastructure, processing over 3.04 million vehicle transactions since its launch on the Mundka-Bakkarwala stretch of Delhi’s Urban Extension Road-II (UER-II).

Barrier-less Tolling Revolutionizes Traffic Movement

Enabled by Bosch Mobility Platform and Solutions in partnership with IDFC FIRST Bank, this barrier-less model allows vehicles to pass through tolling points without stopping, averaging over 50,000 vehicles per day.

This uninterrupted flow of traffic has contributed to environmental and economic benefits, saving an estimated 152,129 litres of fuel and preventing approximately 395.5 tonnes of CO2 emissions.

Key Benefits of MLFF Tolling

By replacing conventional stop-and-pay toll collection, MLFF tolling helps improve traffic movement, reduce congestion at tolling points and enhance the overall travel experience for road users.

Market Impact and Details

• The deployment showcases how technology-led collaborations can accelerate the adoption of India’s digital public infrastructure.
