Jio Financial Services Subsidiary Jio Payments Bank Enters Next-Gen Tolling with MLFF Road Projects

On October 13, 2025, Jio Payments Bank Limited (JPBL), a subsidiary of Jio Financial Services Limited (JFSL), announced its entry into the next-generation tolling ecosystem through Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) road projects. 

The bank has secured a major contract to implement Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR)-based MLFF tolling across 2 key toll plazas, Shahjahanpur and Manoharpura, between Gurugram and Jaipur.

Jio Payments Bank Expands into MLFF Tolling Services

The MLFF tolling system represents an advanced electronic toll collection model that enables vehicles to pass through toll plazas without stopping. Using technologies like Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), ANPR, Dedicated Short-Range Communication (DSRC), and Global Navigation Satellite Systems (GNSS), this solution enhances efficiency and reduces traffic congestion. 

The Indian Highways Management Company Limited (IHMCL) awarded these projects as part of India’s pilot MLFF initiative to enable seamless highway travel nationwide.

Strategic Win Strengthens JPBL’s Infrastructure Role

JPBL has already established itself in the toll management domain, managing operations at 11 toll plazas nationwide as an acquirer bank. By winning 2 of the 5 MLFF bids issued so far, JPBL reinforces its position as a competitive player in India’s evolving digital tolling landscape. The bank began its FASTag-based toll processing operations in July 2025, and this new contract marks a crucial next step in scaling its infrastructure-linked financial services.
