# Bengaluru parking fee up to Rs 25,000 per year proposed 2026-08-13T18:46:46+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 3 independent outlets Bengaluru residents parking on public roads outside their homes may soon pay an annual fee of up to Rs 25,000, depending on vehicle type. The draft Greater Bengaluru Authority Parking Rules, 2026 proposes minimum annual permits of Rs 15,000 for hatchbacks, Rs 20,000 for sedans, and Rs 25,000 for SUVs. Permits will only be issued to residents of buildings meeting minimum parking requirements in building bylaws. The rules also ban parking on high-density arterial roads, restrict parking near Metro stations (initially 150 metres, up to 500 metres), and allow private operators to enforce rules. The Karnataka government has invited objections. Critics say the plan burdens middle-class families; others say it guarantees a parking space but will be hard to implement given land shortages. ## Coverage - thehindu.com - timesofindia.indiatimes.com - deccanherald.com Tags: Bengaluru parking, Greater Bengaluru Authority, Karnataka, urban transport Canonical: https://indianopinion.org/bengaluru-draft-rules-propose-up-to-rs-25000-parking-fee/ License: Summary and commentary (c) Indian Opinion, reusable with attribution.
