New Delhi: The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) on Wednesday announced doubling of parking fees across the national capital after the Graded Response Action Plan (GRAP) Stage-II was invoked due to deteriorating air quality.

The decision, aimed at discouraging the use of private vehicles, will see parking charges double for off-road and indoor parking areas managed by the NDMC.

According to the public notice issued by NDMC, the revised rates will remain in effect until the revocation of Stage-II of GRAP. As per the new structure, the hourly parking fee for four-wheelers will rise from Rs 20 to Rs 40, for two-wheelers from Rs 10 to Rs 20, and for buses from Rs 150 to Rs 300. Similarly, indoor parking rates have also been doubled, with car parking increasing from Rs 10 to Rs 20 per hour
