MCD Launches Digital Parking at 8 Locations Across Delhi

The Municipal Corporation of Delhi (MCD) has launched a digital parking system at eight prominent locations across the capital, introducing a tech-driven approach to urban mobility and parking management.

The initiative is designed to streamline parking operations, encourage cashless payments, and ensure greater transparency in revenue collection. The pilot rollout has been implemented in busy areas such as Karol Bagh, Lajpat Nagar, Nehru Place (Outer and Inner Ring), Shastri Park, and Kashmere Gate ISBT.

Under the new system, four-wheelers will be able to make payments via FASTag, while two-wheelers can use UPI-based digital methods—eliminating the need for physical cash. A centralised dashboard will track real-time parking activity and collections, offering better oversight and accountability.

The MCD has floated a tender to engage a private operator who will be responsible for deploying the required infrastructure, managing day-to-day operations, and handling revenue systems.

This move is part of a broader push by the civic authority to digitise public services and enhance operational efficiency in Delhi’s urban environment. The digital parking system is expected to ease congestion in densely populated commercial districts, minimise manual oversight, and provide a more convenient experience for commuters and local businesses.

By adopting digital solutions, the MCD aims to set a benchmark for modern, contactless civic services in the city and pave the way for scalable smart city initiatives across the country.
