Delhi Civic Body to Open 28 Parking Lots by Month-End

Delhi Civic Body to Open 28 Parking Lots by Month-End

NDMC is working to open over a dozen more parking lots, for which land has been identified and the process of seeking ‘no-objection certificates’ from various departments and agencies is underway.



New Delhi:  To meet the growing demand for parking space, North Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) will open 28 more parking lots in its area by the end of this month.

“We have completed all the formalities and short-term tenders will be invited for the parking lots next week. The parking lots, small and large in capacity, will be ready by the end of this month,” said Virendar Babbar, vice-chairman of Standing Committee of the civic body.


The demand for parking space is growing as the number of vehicles is increasing every day. But lack of availability of land for parking space poses a big challenge, he said.


The 28 parking lots will be opened in crowded parts of the city, including Karol Bag and Civil Lines, and will help ease the parking crisis, Mr Babbar said.

Also, NDMC is working to open over a dozen more parking lots, for which land has been identified and the process of seeking ‘no-objection certificates’ from various departments and agencies is underway.


“We have opened over 50 parking lots in the NDMC area recently. There are, at present, nearly 140 parking lots of municipal corporation in North Delhi,” Mr Babbar said.
