Delhi Metro to build multi-level parking systems

New Delhi: Delhi Metro is planning to build multi-level parking systems at three stations in west Delhi for which tenders have been invited. The facility will come up in Janakpuri, Rohini and Pitampura, DMRC officials said.

The Multi-Level Parking system can accommodate about 800 cars at Janakpuri, 550 cars at Rohini and 400 cars at Pitampura. Approximate area of the parking in Janakpuri is 8,500 sq. metre, Rohini 7,500 sq. Metre and Pitampura 3,500 sq. Metre.
Adequate facilities will be provided for accommodating two wheelers within the above limits, the officials said.

The present parking lots at all these three locations are fully crowded and all these are located close to important commercial hubs.

'Metro aims to select a developer through a competitive bidding process to set up these multi-level parkings and the bidder will get a concession to run the same for 30 years,' the officials said.

In addition, the bidder can also do commercial development by setting up activities like shopping malls or Hypermarket or Shopping Plazas or Retail Showrooms for consumer goods, garments or restaurants or food courts.

The parking would be either manual, semi-automatic or fully automatic. In manual parking or elevated parking the depth and height will not exceed 3 floors.

In semi-automatic, the retrieval time for the parking will be less than five minutes while in fully automatic it will be three minutes.

The Metro is planning to open similar multi-levels parkings at other stations also in the future in a phased manner.
