Car buyers will have to pay higher one-time parking charges in 2019 as the Delhi Transport Department has approved a recommendation for a hike by three municipal corporations of the city. An order issued by outgoing Transport Commissioner Varsha Joshi on Friday said the new parking charges will be applicable from January 1, 2019. The transport department collects the parking charges on behalf of the MCDs, which claim that it is meant for creating parking infrastructure in Delhi. The parking charges mechanism will be replaced by spot parking fees after new parking regulations are notified by the Delhi government, she said. Delhi Transport Minister Kailash Gahlot, however, denied having any information about the hike.
