The Mumbai Traffic Police carried out a large enforcement drive against illegal parking across the city from November 25 to December 1, 2025. Officers targeted busy junctions, markets, railway stations, metro stations, and other crowded areas. The goal was to improve security and reduce traffic congestion. The drive was conducted through the E-challan system.

A total of 22,955 cars were fined for being left unattended or parked in a way that blocked traffic, caused inconvenience, or created safety risks. The fines collected from this category came to INR 27,063,500.

Several other parking offences also drew action: 

  • There were 39 e-challans for parking on sidewalks and zebra crossings, with fines adding up to INR 58,500. 
  • Another 38 e-challans were issued for double parking, leading to INR 57,000 in fines.
  • Parking close to bus stops, schools, and medical facilities resulted in 21 e-challans worth INR 31,500. 
  • Parking in “No Parking” zones led to 28 e-challans and fines of INR 42,000. 
  • One e-challan was issued for blocking a building gate and carried a fine of INR 1,500. 
  • One more e-challan was issued for stopping or pausing on a restricted road segment, with a fine of INR 1,500.

When all parking violations were counted, the total number of e-challans reached 23,083. The combined fine amount stood at INR 27,255,500. The Traffic Control Branch urged residents to follow parking rules and avoid leaving vehicles in restricted areas. Officials also asked the public to report any suspicious or unattended vehicles to the Traffic Control Room.

The Mumbai Traffic Police also launched a separate crackdown on unregistered e-bikes used for commercial deliveries from November 27 to 29 after complaints from citizens and traffic personnel. Many delivery riders were found using electric two-wheelers that were not registered with the Regional Transport Office. 

These vehicles were being used for food and parcel delivery work, which violates the Motor Vehicles Act. Officers also observed riders driving on the wrong side, using footpaths, jumping signals, and riding in a dangerous manner.

  • On November 27, officers recorded 23 traffic offence cases and 63 local offence cases, and they seized 77 e-bikes. 
  • On November 28, they registered 41 traffic offence cases and 271 local offence cases, and they seized 230 e-bikes. 
  • On November 29, they confiscated 210 e-bikes and registered 246 local offence cases and 27 traffic offence cases.
