Bengaluru draft rules propose ₹15,000 to ₹25,000 a year for residential street parking

Policy watch · Bengaluru · reported 14 August 2026

Under the draft GBA (Parking) Rules, 2026, residents parking on designated residential roads would need an annual permit: ₹15,000 for hatchbacks, ₹20,000 for sedans and ₹25,000 for SUVs, plus an administrative fee. Permits would be valid for one vehicle and only on roads within walking distance of home, and only for residents of buildings that meet the bye-law minimum parking. The Karnataka government has invited objections and suggestions.

Why it matters: it is the first serious Indian proposal to price residential street storage of cars, an idea familiar from Japan and many European cities.
