Bengaluru residents may soon have to pay up to Rs 25,000 annually to park cars on residential roads. The new charges would be implemented if the Karnataka government approves the police under a draft proposal. According to the proposed Greater Bengaluru Area (Parking) Rules, 2026, hourly charges will also be levied for on-street parking on other roads and the parking rates would depend on the road.According to the proposal, the residential parking charges would depend on the type of car. For small cars, an annual permit fee would cost Rs 15,000, for sedans it would be Rs 20,000, and for SUVs, the charges would be Rs 25,000.For on-street parking in non-residential areas, car owners may have to pay between Rs 40 and Rs 80 an hour, while two-wheeler parking charges could range from Rs 20 to Rs 40, depending on the road category.The draft proposes a graded pricing system based on road classification. Cars would be charged Rs 40 per hour on Category C roads, Rs 60 on Category B roads and Rs 80 on Category A roads. For two-wheelers, the proposed rates are Rs 20, Rs 30 and Rs 40 per hour on Category C, B and A roads respectively.Off-street parking is expected to become cheaper, with hourly charges ranging from Rs 20 to Rs 40 for cars and Rs 10 to Rs 20 for two-wheelers. Monthly passes are expected to range from Rs 1,000 to Rs 4,000, and those parking overnight between 8 pm and 8 am would get a 50 per cent concession on monthly off-street parking charges.The draft rules also aim to discourage vehicles from occupying roadside parking for extended periods by imposing higher charges once a vehicle remains parked for more than two hours.If the proposal comes into force, it would significantly change Bengaluru’s parking framework by treating public road space as a paid resource and nudging motorists towards designated off-street parking facilities.The Urban Development Department issued the draft notification on August 11 and has sought objections and suggestions from the public within 30 days of its publication in the Gazette.

Bengaluru may soon introduce annual residential parking permits of up to Rs 25,000 and hourly on-street parking charges of up to Rs 80 under Karnataka’s draft parking policy for the Greater Bengaluru Area.

Bengaluru residents to pay up to Rs 25,000 for parking outside home? Here’s what new proposal says

The civic authority in Bengaluru has come up with a novel idea to make women feel safe. The city will soon have as many as 1000 parking spots reserved for women across its busy, prime areas.

The project has been implemented in Brigade Road so far and will be extended to 85 prime areas of the city.

&quot;There are people who have all the time and money in the world. They park their vehicles for a long time, for the entire day till late evening. The women, meanwhile, are troubled by this. When they come, they have to go looking for parking for 1-2 km,&quot;&nbsp;Sampath Raj, Mayor, Bengaluru.

Mayor Raj says that the idea behind the initiative is to better&nbsp;women&#39;s safety by allowing them to park&nbsp;on main roads, especially&nbsp;during the&nbsp;night.

&quot;I think something like this has happened for the first time in the world. There will be some teething troubles initially, but this move will be beneficial in the long run,&quot; he added.

Bengaluru&#39;s packed streets desperately lack parking spaces and more often than not drivers are forced to go looking for suitable&nbsp;bylanes. The women drivers in the city that WION spoke to expressed great excitement over the initiative.&nbsp;

&quot;It is something nice that the city is doing for us. you find it so difficult to park with those big cars. it&#39;s a wonderful initiative, said a woman driver.

&quot;It gives me more pleasure to come to brigade road and church street now that I have a few slots available where I can park without hassle,&quot; said another.

Traders in these areas are also expecting an increase in their businesses as they feel that the slots will be available for genuine shoppers.
