Source-grounded summary

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has rolled out Tamil Nadu’s first Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system at the Paranur Toll Plaza on the Tambaram–Tindivanam Section of NH-179B. This barrierless system utilizes advanced technologies such as Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) and FASTag to allow vehicles to pass through toll plazas without stopping. The initiative aims to reduce congestion, fuel consumption, vehicular emissions, and human intervention in toll collection while improving transparency and travel efficiency. NHAI is implementing MLFF in a phased manner across various national highways in India.
