Overview
The Multi‑Lane Free Flow (MLFF) tolling system deployed on the Mundka‑Bakkarwala stretch of Delhi’s Urban Extension Road‑II (UER‑II) has processed more than 3.04 million vehicle transactions since its launch, with an average daily traffic of over 50,000 vehicles. The barrier‑less model, enabled by Bosch Mobility Platform and Solutions (MPS) in partnership with IDFC FIRST Bank, allows vehicles to pass toll points without stopping, thereby improving traffic movement and reducing congestion.
Environmental and Economic Impact
The uninterrupted flow has been estimated to save approximately 152,129 litres of fuel and to avoid about 395.5 tonnes of CO₂ emissions, based on an assumed fuel saving of 0.05 litre per vehicle. These figures illustrate tangible environmental benefits derived from the digital tolling solution.
Technology Stack
Bosch’s integrated solution combines Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), RFID/FASTag integration, radar and LiDAR capabilities to achieve automated vehicle identification and real‑time toll processing. The system also provides highway operators with automated processing and enhanced operational visibility.
Executive Comment
Joint Managing Director Sandeep Nelamangala, also President of Bosch Mobility India, stated that “Barrier‑less tolling is a clear example of digital infrastructure delivering visible benefits… faster movement, lower fuel wastage, reduced emissions and more efficient highway travel.”
Bosch India Footprint
Bosch operates in India through 14 companies, including Bosch Limited (the flagship), Bosch Chassis Systems India Pvt Ltd, Bosch Rexroth (India) Pvt Ltd, and several others, spanning 17 manufacturing sites and 7 development and application centres. In FY 2024‑25, Bosch recorded consolidated sales of €2.7 billion and total net sales of ₹373,457 million (approximately €4.13 billion) in India, employing 38,655 associates as of 31 Mar 2025.
Global Bosch Context
