NDMC Doubles Fossil-Fuel Vehicle Parking Fees, Maintains EV Charges, Expands Pollution Controls
The New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) will double parking fees for fossil-fuel vehicles from November while keeping electric vehicle (EV) parking charges unchanged, effectively making EV fees one-fourth of non-EV fees. NDMC aims to increase EV charging stations from 157 to 204 by year-end. Additional pollution control measures include expanding misting systems on major roads, deploying anti-smog guns, and enhancing road sweeping and waste management to address air quality concerns in New Delhi.
