Tech-driven overhaul of surface parking by MCD, 82 sites up for bidding

The civic body has mandated that all parking sites, spread across busy markets, residential zones and commercial hubs, be managed through the 'MyParkings' mobile application, in order to curb overcharging, eliminate manual slips and boost transparency. The app is now compulsory for all contractors issuing parking slips through handheld digital devices synced in real time.

Any attempt to bypass the digital system will attract penalties of up to ₹2 lakh and termination of the contract, according to the tender.
