NDMC Introduces FASTag Parking to Improve Convenience and Sustainability

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 technology enables rapid, cashless parking payments, significantly expediting transactions and minimizing waiting times.

Currently, NDMC operates 150 parking facilities and is expanding to 175 sites. These new sites will accommodate 11,000 cars, 5,000 two-wheelers, and 200 buses, with key areas like Tolstoy Marg, Sarojini Nagar, Khan Market, and Connaught Place receiving new and enhanced parking options.

To incentivize the adoption of digital payments, NDMC will offer discounts for cashless transactions. The goal is to make the parking experience smoother by eliminating cash transactions and reducing waiting times.

A key feature of this initiative is the launch of a new mobile app. The app will provide real-time updates on parking availability, simplifying the process for drivers to locate available spaces. This will be especially helpful in busy areas where parking is in high demand.

In addition to enhancing parking convenience, NDMC is focusing on enhancing the city’s sustainability. 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 alleviate traffic congestion and reduce pollution.

NDMC is also focused on enhancing the city’s infrastructure. The expanded parking system, encompassing 175 sites, will provide ample space for 11,000 cars, 5,000 two-wheelers, and 200 buses, significantly improving parking convenience across New Delhi.

Chahal, Vice Chairman of NDMC, stated that this initiative will not only enhance parking convenience but also contribute to making New Delhi a smarter and more sustainable city.
