Sriperumbudur toll plaza upgrades to multi-lane free-flow system
The Sriperumbudur toll plaza on the Chennai-Bengaluru highway has been equipped with multi-lane free-flow (MLFF) technology to streamline vehicle passage. The automated system reads FASTag cards and registration plates to levy tolls without requiring vehicles to stop.

The Sriperumbudur toll plaza, a critical checkpoint on the busy Chennai-Bengaluru corridor, has been upgraded with multi-lane free-flow technology to reduce congestion and expedite toll collection. The system employs automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) and FASTag scanning capabilities to identify vehicles and deduct applicable toll charges instantaneously.
Under the MLFF framework, vehicles equipped with active FASTag transponders can pass through designated lanes without halting, while the system automatically processes payments linked to their registered tags. Vehicles without FASTag are captured through ANPR technology, with toll amounts levied against their registration details.
The upgrade aims to enhance traffic flow at one of South India's busiest toll points, reducing waiting times and improving overall highway efficiency. MLFF technology has been progressively implemented across major Indian toll plazas to modernize collection infrastructure and provide seamless passage for compliant users.
The initiative aligns with the National Highways Authority of India's broader digitalization push to minimize toll-related bottlenecks on national corridors and enhance commuter experience across high-traffic routes.
