1st August 2026, Kathmandu
Nepal is taking a massive leap forward in its digital infrastructure and transport management. Soori Technology Pvt. Ltd. has successfully introduced a groundbreaking payment solution within the nation’s payment ecosystem: Nepal’s First RFID-based Electronic Toll Collection (ETC) System, deployed at the strategic Nagdhunga–Sisnekhola Tunnel.
Nepal’s First RFID-Based Electronic Toll
By harnessing Ultra High Frequency (UHF) RFID technology as the primary identifier source, this milestone achievement eliminates traditional cash bottlenecks, paving the way for a fully digitized, interoperable toll network across all tolls in Nepal.
Key Highlights of Nepal’s First RFID Toll System
Cutting-Edge Technology: Powered by Soori Technology as the end-to-end toll plaza ecosystem provider, utilizing UHF RFID tags for seamless vehicle identification.
Interoperability: Built to support cross-network functionality, ensuring a unified toll experience across all major routes in Nepal.
Financial Integration: Seamlessly integrated with 9 A-Class Commercial Banks, Fonepay as the official Payment System Operator (PSO), alongside major digital wallets like eSewa and Khalti (by IME).
Core Pillars: Fast, Safe, and Cashless
The newly launched ETC infrastructure is designed around three primary advantages for commuters and transport authorities alike:

FAST (Quick & Efficient Passage): Minimizes waiting times at toll plazas, drastically reducing traffic congestion and fuel wastage.
SAFE (Secure & Reliable): Protects transaction integrity through robust digital protocols and secure infrastructure backed by strategic stakeholders.
CASHLESS (Seamless Digital Payments): Promotes a transparent financial ecosystem by transitioning away from manual cash handling.
Collaborative Success and Gratitude
This monumental step in Nepal’s digital transformation journey was made possible through strong public-private collaboration and institutional trust.
Soori Technology extends its sincere gratitude to all key partners and stakeholders, including the Roads Board Nepal (RBN), Nepal Rastra Bank (NRB), partner banks, PSOs, digital wallets, and valued technical collaborators such as Kent, DOR, NK, and Hazama, whose dedication turned this vision into reality.
