Area-wise parking rates approved in Mumbai

While there is a very high parking charges for car parking all over Mumbai but my tenants and trespassers do not pay anything for parking a car. What is a remedy? Should I file a case on them.

MUMBAI: The BMC is set to implement a graded pay-and-park scheme for the suburbs and the island city with rates jumping up to three times, ban paid parking within 100m of educational institutions and introduce permits for residents for street parking.

The base rate approved for BMC parking lots in the island city is Rs 60 for every hour, Rs 40 for the western suburbs and Rs 20 for the eastern suburbs. Earlier, the BMC charged Rs 20 per hour across the city, including the suburbs.

The comprehensive parking policy, which got approval from group leaders of all parties on Wednesday, will be implemented within a month after being tabled at the civic improvements' committee.

For the first time, residents will need permits at a minimal rate to keep their cars on roads. Housing societies will have to apply to the ward officer. Each flat-owner will get one slot; multiple slots will depend on availability of space. "This will happen in a phased manner and will be executed through ward officer and housing society," said S V R Srinivas, additional municipal commissioner.

Explaining the steep parking rate hike, he added: "Traffic congestion is worst in the island city as it is a business district. The hike in rates for island city is to deter people from parking for long hours. Also, the paying capacity in south Mumbai is more." The hike is mainly aimed at regulating traffic by encouraging people to walk or use public transport and not at revenue generation, he added.

The scrapping of pay-and-park facilities outside educational institutes will prevent congestion and allow easy movement of students. "There would be no pay-n-park within a 100m radius of schools and colleges as there are school buses. When I visited schools like Cathedral and Campion in south Mumbai, I found congestion and students facing inconvenience. These areas will be freed of parking. Seven parking lots on Mahapalika Marg will be cancelled, said Srinivas, adding that it is a calibrated policy, meaning 50% of these proscribed parking facilities will be available on Sundays and bank holidays.

The policy also aims to utilize malls and movie theatres for night parking by residents of the area at a minimal charge.

Public transport like taxis, rickshaws and private buses will be charged one-fourth the new parking rates. So, if it is Rs 40 per hour for cars, it will be Rs 10 for cabs.

Also parking on roads in the vicinity of public parking lots (PPL) will cost four times the rate inside the PPL. The city's first large scale PPL was opened at Apollo Mills in Lower Parel in June with a capacity of 650 cars.
