Delhi parking fees could rise across New Delhi Municipal Council facilities under a proposal that would increase hourly and monthly tariffs for cars and two-wheelers. The plan would also impose a 100% surcharge on cash payments. No effective date was specified.
Key Takeaways
- Proposed car rates would rise to ₹30 an hour off-street and ₹70 an hour on-street.
- Motorists paying cash would pay double the applicable parking fee.
- The proposal covers upgrades to 157 parking sites and permits higher rates during specified pollution alerts.
How Delhi parking fees would change
For cars, the proposed off-street hourly rate would rise from ₹20 to ₹30, while the on-street rate would increase from ₹50 to ₹70. Two-wheeler rates would also rise at both types of site.
Monthly passes would become more expensive for both vehicle categories. The largest proposed increase in rupee terms is for cars at off-street sites, where a pass would cost ₹4,000 instead of ₹2,000.
The revisions remain proposals; the source did not specify when they would take effect.
| Item | Details |
|---|---|
| Car hourly parking | Off-street: ₹20 to ₹30; on-street: ₹50 to ₹70 |
| Two-wheeler hourly parking | Off-street: ₹10 to ₹15; on-street: ₹20 to ₹30 |
| Car monthly pass | Off-street: ₹2,000 to ₹4,000; multi-level: ₹1,000 to ₹3,300 |
| Two-wheeler monthly pass | Off-street: ₹1,000 to ₹2,000; multi-level: ₹500 to ₹1,000 |
Cash payments and parking technology
The proposed cash surcharge is intended to encourage digital transactions. The framework also provides for final bills to be rounded to the nearest rupee.
The plan includes upgrading 157 sites under the Intelligent Integrated Parking Management System. Private operators managing three parking clusters through a public-private partnership would have three to six months after taking over a site to install equipment, including FASTag readers, number-plate recognition cameras, payment devices and automated barriers.
Once operational, the system is expected to handle entry, payment and exit digitally without physical intervention.
Higher charges during pollution alerts
The proposal would also allow the council to double standard parking rates for all users during winter if the Commission for Air Quality Management invokes Stage II or Stage III of the Graded Response Action Plan. The measure is intended to discourage non-essential private vehicle use.
