Pune Airport to Enforce 15-Minute Vehicle Limit with Rs 500 Fine from December
Starting December, Pune Airport will enforce a 15-minute limit for vehicles dropping off or picking up passengers to reduce terminal congestion. Automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras will monitor vehicle entry and exit times, and violators will face a Rs 500 fine. A month-long awareness campaign in November will precede enforcement, during which only warnings will be issued. Vehicles overstaying will have exit barriers remain closed until fines are paid, and screens displaying violators' images will be installed to discourage extended waiting.
