Town Planning Committee approves revised rates for AMC-run Pay and Park facilities; first-hour charge for two-wheelers rises from ₹5 to ₹10 and for four-wheelers from ₹15 to ₹20
Motorists in Ahmedabad will soon have to pay more to park their vehicles at Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC)-operated Pay and Park facilities and on-street parking locations, with the Town Planning Committee approving a proposal to revise parking charges across vehicle categories.
Under the revised rates, the first-hour parking fee for two-wheelers will double from ₹5 to ₹10, while the charge for four-wheelers will increase from ₹15 to ₹20.
The proposal will now be placed before the AMC Standing Committee and the General Body for approval. The new rates will come into effect only after clearance from both bodies.
On October 10, Gujarat Samachar Digital reported on the proposed parking fee hike. Town Planning Committee Chairman Bhagyesh Patel said the proposal was submitted by the Municipal Commissioner. The Committee approved the revised rates after making certain changes to the Commissioner's recommendations.
The proposed charges will apply to Corporation-managed on-road, off-road and multi-level parking facilities.
Revised Parking Charges for Two-Wheelers
While approving the increase in the first-hour fee, the Town Planning Committee reduced several of the rates proposed by the Municipal Commissioner for longer parking durations.
The revised two-wheeler charges are:
Parking duration | Existing charge | Revised charge |
|---|---|---|
First hour | ₹5 | ₹10 |
1–3 hours | — | ₹15 |
3–6 hours | — | ₹25 |
6–12 hours | — | ₹40 |
12–24 hours | — | ₹55 |
The Committee approved ₹15 for one to three hours instead of the Commissioner's proposed ₹20, ₹25 for three to six hours instead of ₹35, ₹40 for six to 12 hours instead of ₹50, and ₹55 for 12 to 24 hours instead of ₹70.
Four-Wheeler Parking: First-Hour Fee Rises to ₹20
For four-wheelers, the first-hour charge has been increased from ₹15 to ₹20. The revised rates for longer durations have also been proposed as follows:
Parking duration | Revised charge |
|---|---|
First hour | ₹20 |
1–2 hours | ₹40 |
3–6 hours | ₹80 |
6–12 hours | ₹120 |
12–24 hours | ₹170 |
The revised parking charges will be implemented across the specified AMC-managed parking facilities after the Standing Committee and General Body approve the proposal.
