Delhi has opened a new multilevel parking facility at Bhikaji Cama Place with space for 625 vehicles, adding capacity in one of the capital’s congested commercial areas where roadside and unauthorised parking have long affected traffic movement.
The facility was inaugurated on Friday by Delhi Lieutenant Governor Taranjit Singh Sandhu. According to the Delhi Development Authority (DDA), it can accommodate 432 cars and 193 two-wheelers at the same time.
Built on a 6,040-square-metre plot, the parking complex includes a basement, a ground floor, two upper floors and rooftop parking. The project cost approximately Rs 40 crore, officials said.
The facility has been equipped with Fastag-enabled parking access, a parking guidance and management system, CCTV surveillance and lift access to every floor. It also has diesel generator power backup for emergency services. Payment and electric vehicle charging facilities are available for 18 cars simultaneously, according to details released by the DDA.
The new facility is intended to address the pressure created by vehicles searching for parking around Bhikaji Cama Place. The DDA said crowded areas in the city have faced persistent problems from vehicle accumulation and unauthorised parking along roads. The availability of structured off-street parking is expected to reduce the need for motorists to leave vehicles on busy streets, although the practical effect will depend on usage, access arrangements and parking enforcement around the complex.
Sandhu said Delhi needed similar facilities across the city and welcomed the opening of the project in a congested area. He said the facility would improve movement and help reduce parking problems. He also described Delhi’s role as the national capital and its importance in the ‘Viksit Bharat’ initiative.
The Bhikaji Cama Place project is the second major multilevel parking facility opened by the DDA within a year, according to a statement cited in the report. In February 2026, the authority opened a six-storey parking facility at Nehru Place with capacity for 660 cars and 350 two-wheelers. That facility also included designated spaces for persons with disabilities and electric vehicles.
The latest opening comes as the Municipal Corporation of Delhi plans to expand organised parking infrastructure in other parts of the capital. The civic body has proposed 14 multilevel parking projects across six districts, with a combined capacity of 6,052 vehicles. The proposed locations are spread across Central, North Central, West, North East, East and Old Delhi districts. Three projects each are planned in the first four districts, while East and Old Delhi are proposed to receive one project each.
The MCD currently operates 463 parking sites with a combined capacity of 94,831 vehicles, according to the report. The planned projects and the DDA’s recent facilities indicate that Delhi’s parking response is increasingly relying on structured, multilevel sites rather than additional roadside space. The next stages will involve the rollout of the proposed MCD projects and the operation of the newly opened facility at Bhikaji Cama Place.
