Bengaluru Proposes New Parking Rules to Reduce Congestion and Introduce Fees
The Greater Bengaluru Parking Rules, 2026, propose new measures to reduce traffic congestion and regulate parking across the city. Key provisions include parking restrictions near junctions and bus stops to ease micro-level congestion, and the introduction of annual residential parking permits with fees up to ₹25,000 depending on vehicle type. Public parking will no longer be free, with charges varying by area and vehicle. The draft rules are open for public feedback before finalization.
