BMC proposes 10% rise in Mumbai parking fees

Policy watch · Mumbai · reported 28 August 2026

The BMC has proposed a 10% increase in fees at its about 37 public parking lots and 67 on-street parking sites, for two years. The traffic department had first sought 46.4%. Current car rates are ₹20 for the first hour, up to ₹70 for 12 hours.

The proposal goes to the commissioner, then the Standing Committee and General Body.

Why it matters: small, regular increases are easier to accept than large jumps, but rates set without occupancy data may still be too low on the busiest streets.
