Bengaluru’s civic corporations are now planning to explore off-street parking as paid on-street parking and strict no-parking enforcement are set to increase demand for space in public places. The civic bodies plan to use space beneath flyovers as part of a pilot project.
If everything goes as planned, the corporations are also likely to onboard private landowners to set up paid parking facilities on private properties under a public-private partnership (PPP) model.
Meanwhile, the Bengaluru Traffic Police (BTP) has proposed multi-level car parking (MLCP) facilities, a plan that is also gaining momentum.

According to civic body officials, these measures aim to curb illegal off-street and parking in residential areas following the implementation of paid on-street parking. BTP data shows that Bengaluru has 1,194 no-parking stretches, leaving motorists with very limited parking options.
