NEW DELHI: Parking your vehicle in Delhi, even near your home, is soon going to be an expensive proposition. LG Anil Baijal on Wednesday reviewed the Delhi Maintenance and Management of Parking Rules, 2017, prepared by the transport department. According to the new rules, which give teeth to the draft parking policy prepared by the department, parking rates will be fixed by a `base parking fee committee' headed by the transport commissioner. The rules are set to be notified very soon and The rules propose that onstreet parking for the first hour be priced at least twice as much as off-street parking.The parking fee will increase exponentially every hour to discourage long duration of on-street parking and will be thrice that of off-street parking. The parking of commercial vehicles would be permitted only on notified roads during night hours only, upon payment.The civic agencies will identify and provide exclusive night parking places for the purpose of parking of erickshaws and other electric vehicles.
