Starting June 25, the Northern Railway will introduce a new access-controlled parking system at New Delhi Railway Station’s Ajmeri Gate side. The first eight minutes of parking will be free, but after that, charges will apply to reduce traffic jams caused by long waiting vehicles.Parking ChargesFirst 8 minutes: Free8 to 15 minutes: ₹50More than 15 minutes: ₹200Why These Changes?Officials say many people park their cars for a long time while picking up or dropping off passengers, which creates heavy traffic, especially during morning and evening hours. To solve this problem, a private company has been hired to manage the parking, and it will install automatic boom barriers and entry-exit control systems.How It Will WorkDrivers will either pay using FASTag or get a token from a kiosk when they enter.The fee will be collected when they exit.Marshals will be present to ensure smooth movement.What If You Want to Stay LongerIf someone needs to park for a longer time, they can use nearby designated parking lots, which have different charges.Current ProblemsRight now, traffic jams are common on the Ajmeri Gate side. Cabs, autos, and private vehicles block the way. Many drivers even drop people far from the station, forcing them to walk long distances with luggage.The new system aims to fix this chaos and make the area outside the station more organised and convenient.Live Events[With TOI inputs](You can now subscribe to our Economic Times WhatsApp channel)
