The Noida Metro Rail Corporation (NMRC) has introduced new parking facilities at twelve more stations along its Aqua Line, significantly expanding commuter convenience. This initiative encourages the 'park-and-ride' system, promoting metro use over private vehicles.

New parking spaces have been opened at stations including Sector seventy-six, Sector one hundred and one, NSEZ, Sector eighty-three, Sector one hundred and thirty-seven, Sector one hundred and forty-three, Sector one hundred and forty-four, Sector one hundred and forty-five, Sector one hundred and forty-seven, Sector one hundred and forty-eight, Pari Chowk, and Delta One. These add to the existing parking areas at Sector fifty-one, Sector one hundred and forty-two, Sector one hundred and forty-six, and Alpha One stations, totalling sixteen stations with parking facilities.

Parking operates daily from five AM to eleven PM, with penalties for overnight parking: Rs two hundred per night for two-wheelers and Rs three hundred for cars. Charges for parking are Rs twenty-five (cars) and Rs fifteen (two-wheelers) up to six hours. Monthly passes cost Rs one thousand one hundred for cars and Rs five hundred for two-wheelers.

The Aqua Line connects Sector fifty-one in Noida with Depot station in Greater Noida, currently serving over fifty-five thousand commuters daily. These facilities aim to reduce road congestion, boost metro usage, and support sustainable urban growth.
