What led to Salik’s revenue soaring to over Dh750 million in Q1 2025, and how is the company planning to sustain this growth?

Salik PJSC, Dubai’s exclusive toll gate operator, reported a strong start to 2025 with a Dh751.6 million revenue in Q1—marking a 33.7% year-on-year increase—driven by the introduction of variable toll pricing, the launch of two new toll gates (Business Bay and Al Safa South), and higher fine collections, which grew by 16.2% to Dh68.4 million. The company also saw growth in ancillary streams, such as parking partnerships and tag activation fees, while recording 158 million chargeable trips, including 39.3 million during peak hours. With continued expansion, including smart mobility services and operations beyond Dubai, Salik projects full-year revenue growth of 28–29%. Do you believe this pricing strategy and expansion will improve traffic flow and user satisfaction, or create more financial pressure on commuters?
