The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) has decided to remove the current cap of Rs. 100 for parking vehicles in Delhi’s Connaught Place causing people parking at these places to pay more as soon as it’s brought to effect.

Presently, people pay R20 per hour for the first five hours and a flat rate of R100 for any period beyond that.

According to the council’s new plan, residents will pay R20 for every extra hour even beyond the five-hour limit.

“We will soon implement this in Connaught Place as part of the smart parking initiative. There will be no cap on the parking charges. People will have to pay up R20 for every extra hour even beyond the current five-hour limit. Earlier, even if anyone parked for 2-3 days, they paid only R100,” said a senior NDMC official. The decision has been cleared by the Council.

“There will be extra charges for parking during night hours and the rates will be decided soon. The new rates will come into effect from July,” the official added. The Urban Development Ministry had in February announced a plan to make Connaught place vehicle free to decongest the area. However, due to inadequate parking facilities and lack of e-rickshaws to help with last mile connectivity, the project has not yet taken off.
