Delhi Doubles Parking Fees to Combat Air Pollution

The New Delhi Municipal Corporation plans to double parking charges to curb air pollution, encouraging the use of public transport. The Municipal Corporation of Delhi's similar proposal is pending. This measure aligns with enforcement of GRAP Stage II due to deteriorating air quality in the city.

The New Delhi Municipal Corporation (NDMC) is set to double parking charges in an attempt to combat rising air pollution in the national capital.
