Cars In Delhi Are Set To Get Costlier As One-Time Parking Charges Hiked Up To 18 Times

Car buyers in Delhi will have to shell out some extra bucks as one-time parking charges in 2019 have been increased.

The Delhi Transport Department has approved a recommendation for a hike by three municipal corporations of the city. According to the order, the charges will now range between Rs 6,000 to Rs 75,000.

The new parking charges will be applicable starting January 1, 2019.

“The transport department collects the parking charges on behalf of the municipal corporations, which claim that it is meant for creating parking infrastructure in Delhi. The proposal by the three MCDs to hike the charges was pending for quite some time and was cleared by the transport commissioner on her last day in office,” an official told PTI.
