Going out for a drink with friends? Shopping weekend coming about? You might wanna take a cab or use public transport because Delhi Government just increased vehicle parking fees four times and taking your car out might cost you a chunk.
Pertaining to the deadly pollution levels in the city, Delhi Government has decided to take yet another step to curb the use of motor vehicles, and in turn, curb the emissions. You’ll now have to pay INR 80 per hour for parking at public parking lots. Parking for a full day will cost you INR 400. The hike is being implemented to discourage people from taking out their cars. The increased rates will be applicable for one week starting at Nov 9 and will apply to the NCR area as well.
The government has also stopped all construction work in the city and has banned the entry of medium and heavy sized trucks in the city until further notice.
