The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) is taking steps to make parking easier and more efficient by introducing FASTag technology at all parking sites. This will allow people to pay for parking quickly and without the need for cash, speeding up the process and reducing delays.
Currently, NDMC has 150 parking facilities, but they are expanding to 175 sites. These new sites will help accommodate 11,000 cars, 5,000 two-wheelers, and 200 buses, with some key areas like Tolstoy Marg, Sarojini Nagar, Khan Market, and Connaught Place getting new and improved parking options.
To encourage people to switch to digital payments, NDMC will offer discounts for cashless transactions. The goal is to make the parking experience smoother by eliminating cash payments and reducing waiting times.
A key feature of this initiative is the launch of a new mobile app. The app will give real-time updates on parking availability, making it easier for drivers to find available spaces. This will be especially helpful in busy areas where parking is in high demand.
In addition to making parking more convenient, NDMC is focusing on making the city more sustainable. New multi-level parking will be built in areas like Gole Market, and stack parking will be set up at busy spots like Khan Market to help reduce traffic and pollution.
NDMC is also looking to improve the city’s infrastructure. The expanded parking system will provide space for over 9,000 cars, 4,300 two-wheelers, and 120 buses, making it easier for everyone to park in New Delhi.
Chahal, Vice Chairman of NDMC, said this initiative will not only make parking more convenient but will also help make New Delhi a smarter and more sustainable city.
