Smart parking system launched at Begumpet

Hyderabad: Municipal Administration and Urban Development Principal Secretary Arvind Kumar formally launched an integrated paid parking station and an electric vehicle charging station at the Begumpet Metro station here on Monday.

Appreciating the efforts of HMRL in setting up charging points, Kumar said such measures would go a long way in making Hyderabad an environment friendly.

Under the brand name ‘Park Hyderabad’, the integrated smart parking management system is being offered at all the 24 Metro stations between Miyapur and Nagole stations.



About 4,000 two-wheeler parking bays and 250 four-wheeler parking bays are available at the 24 stations.

At present, Rs 10 per day is being charged for a two-wheeler and Rs 20 per day for a four wheeler. The integrated parking system is being operated by a private company and will have an exclusive mobile application shortly. Once it comes into operation, parking charges will be Rs 3 per hour for a two-wheeler and Rs 8 per hour for a four wheeler. Similar parking facilities are being planned at all stations on the other routes.
