Salik has posted AED 1.527 billion in revenue for the first half of the year, marking 39.5 per cent in growth driven by the introduction of variable pricing at the end of January and two new toll gates last November.

Dubai's toll operator said net profit reached AED 770.9 million, recording an increase of 41.5 per cent year-on-year.

It added that total chargeable trips reached 318.4 million in the first half of 2025. Total chargeable trips hit 160.4 million in second quarter, marking a 1.6 per cent increase versus 158.0 million in the first quarter. 

Salik toll fees collected during the same period grew 42.3 per cent year-on-year to AED 1,356.9 million, while revenue from fines increased 15.7 per cent year-on-year to AED 134.3 million during the same period. Tag activation fees also grew in the first half, up 16.2 per cent YoY to AED 22.9 million.

"Our financial results exceeded expectations, with profit margins considered among the highest globally. This reflects the efficiency of Salik's business model and its ability to deliver the best sustainable financial results for its stakeholders," said Ibrahim Sultan Al Haddad, Chief Executive Officer of Salik.

Total ancillary revenue for Salik reached AED 8.7 million driven by revenues from partnerships with Emaar Malls and Parkonic. 

The strong performance was driven by increased transaction volumes at Dubai Mall in addition to increasing traction in its cooperation with Parkonic since mid-February, with rollout across several locations progressing well, as operations are now live in 73 out of 154 locations, Salik said in a statement. Furthermore, the company’s partnership with Liva Group has continued to gain good traction with consumers during H1.
