Delhi's New Rules: Quicker Auctions for Impounded Vehicles

The Delhi government has proposed amendments to its parking management rules to address space constraints by reducing the impound release period from 90 to 30 days. Vehicles unclaimed within this period could be auctioned. Stakeholders are invited to provide feedback on the draft amendment.

The Delhi government is set to amend its parking management rules, reducing the time vehicle owners have to reclaim impounded vehicles from 90 days to 30 days. This move aims to alleviate congestion in parking spaces across the city.

Under the proposed changes, a seven-day notice will be issued if the vehicle is not retrieved within the new 30-day window. Failure to reclaim the vehicle after notice will result in a public auction, according to official sources.

The amendments are open for public consultation, allowing stakeholders to offer feedback before final implementation. This initiative serves to address the overcrowding of impounded vehicles in the city's limited parking facilities.
