BMC to refloat tenders of 35 parking lots across the city

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) has refloated the tenders for the maintenance of 35 pay and parking lots across Mumbai after failing to find bidders. By the end of the year, the civic body is expecting to launch these lots.  

Last time, the BMC had invited tenders for 55 pay and park lots, of which, 20 had bagged contractors while 35 lots went unclaimed.

According to the BMC’s pay and park policy, the city has been divided into three zones - A, B, and C, zone - based on the footfall and vehicular traffic in the areas. These 35 parking lots fall in all three categories, based on the area and available parking space.

The upcoming parking lots are spread across, including areas around Regal cinema, Eros Cinema, Free Press Journal Road, LIC Road, Mumbai Samachar Road, Ballard Estate in south Mumbai; in Tardeo, Dadar and Prabhadevi in central Mumbai; and in Bandra, Andheri, and the Ghatkopar Mankhurd Link Road (GMLR) in the suburbs.
