New Delhi: Delhi Development Authority allocated Rs 38 crore in its budget for developing its third multi-level parking facility at Netaji Subhas Place in Pitampura, adding to its existing projects at Nehru Place and Bhikaji Cama Place. The announcement was made during the authority's 2025–26 budget presentation on Thursday, in the presence of LG VK Saxena "The approved parking layout plan at the District Centre, Netaji Subhas Place, comprising surface parking and a multi-level parking, is in the process of revision due to the existence of a large number of trees. Once the process is completed, new estimates will be prepared," said a DDA official.

The parking is expected to have three levels, including a basement, besides surface parking space. The commercial centre faces significant daily visitor traffic and local traders have been demanding such a facility.
The Bhikaji Cama Place parking lot, featuring five levels, was allocated Rs 40 crore. DDA expects to finalise it by the end of Aug. The total covered area at the parking facility is 19,354 square metres.
"The facility will have space for 452 cars, including 20 suitable for disabled. In addition to this, 193 two-wheelers can be parked at the site," said the official. The project involves a conventional type of parking with a reinforced cement concrete structure.
"Seismic factors were taken into account to make it earthquake-resistant, and two rainwater harvesting pits will be constructed here to conserve rainwater. The civil work is in progress at the site, and we are expecting the project to be completed by Aug 31," the official said, adding that the parking lot will have a parking guidance facility, EV charging facility, lifts, CCTV surveillance system and firefighting system. DDA had recently revamped Nehru Place market, and new granite was laid out in the common area, pavements renovated and toilets fixed.
The revamp plan also included constructing the parking lot. Traders stated that the facility, once operational, will end the illegal parking of vehicles in and around the complex. "The parking lot at Nehru Place, which is expected to be completed by June-end, consists of six floors, including the basement and ground floor.
It will offer parking space for 660 cars, including 56 for disabled, and 352 two-wheelers. The cost of the project is Rs 62.4 crore," the official informed.
The project is a conventional type of parking with an RCC framed structure. To ensure its safety during earthquakes, seismic factors have been incorporated in the design. "A sustainable development model was followed while developing the structure, such as the transplantation of trees and compensatory plantation.
A vertical garden in an area of about 400 square metres on the wall of the building will be developed after the civil work is completed. Besides, provision for two rainwater harvesting systems was made to ensure water conservation at the project site and prevent water logging in the area," disclosed the official. The multilevel parking will have a parking guidance facility which will help motorists to park their vehicles.
There will be provisions for charging electric vehicles, lifts, a CCTV surveillance system and a firefighting system. These features will make the facility more user friendly and motivate people to use it frequently. "At present, the construction work is in progress at the site and we estimate completion of work by June 30," said the official.
