- Salik Company P.J.S.C. (SALIK.AE) operates as Dubai's exclusive toll gate operator under a 49-year concession agreement with the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA), designing, constructing, operating, and maintaining free-flow electronic toll gates utilizing radio frequency identification (RFID) technology and automatic number plate recognition (ANPR); offering civil engineering, electrical works, gantry design and manufacturing, system integration, testing, and commissioning services; and providing ancillary digital services including e-wallet payments for parking, fuel, vehicle insurance renewals, and emerging electric vehicle (EV) charging solutions. The company manages 10 toll gates strategically located along key routes such as Sheikh Zayed Road, Al Khail Road, and major bridges including Business Bay Crossing, Al Safa South, Al Barsha, Al Garhoud, and Airport Tunnel, serving commuters and vehicles across Dubai's road network with variable peak (AED 6) and off-peak (AED 4) pricing introduced in January 2025. Incorporated in 2022 and headquartered at Festival Tower, Suite 400, Dubai Festival City, Dubai, United Arab Emirates, Salik focuses on the tolling business segment within the industrials and infrastructure sector, targeting drivers and mobility users primarily in Dubai while expanding ancillary offerings across the UAE. Recent developments include the activation of two new solar-powered toll gates at Business Bay Crossing and Al Safa South in November 2024, increasing the total from eight to 10 and boosting traffic management efficiency; strategic partnerships such as with Emaar Malls for barrier-free parking at Dubai Mall (launched July 2024, generating AED 5.6 million in H1 2025 revenues), Parkonic for e-wallet integration across 73+ UAE parking locations under a five-year agreement, Liva Group for streamlined motor insurance renewals with renewal reminders, ENOC for smart fuel payments via ANPR, and a November 2025 collaboration with Schneider Electric and Vcharge to deploy over 1,800 EV charging points integrated with Salik's e-wallet platform; alongside the rollout of variable toll pricing, enhanced digital channels including an upgraded mobile app and WhatsApp service, and robust financial performance with 9M 2025 revenues of AED 2.28 billion (up 38.6% YoY). These initiatives reflect Salik's strategic shift toward revenue diversification beyond core tolling, sustainable mobility, and digital ecosystem expansion while maintaining operations exclusively within the Emirate of Dubai under government-linked ownership.
