Bengaluru is considering new draft “Greater Bengaluru Area (Parking) Rules, 2026” that would regulate road parking and may require residents to pay for longer-duration parking. The proposal includes higher charges for vehicles parked beyond a short limit, with the goal of discouraging extended stays on roads.
Under the draft rules, home parking permits for residential parking could cost between about Rs 15,000 and Rs 25,000 per year, depending on the type of vehicle. The outlets report that the top figure—up to Rs 25,000 annually—would apply to certain vehicle categories.
Different coverage focuses on different elements of the same proposal: NDTV highlights the annual cost range and the vehicle-type basis for residential permits, while also mentioning a policy intent to reduce long-duration on-road parking by increasing charges after roughly two hours. The Economic Times likewise reports the proposed Rs 25,000 fee for parking on roads, framing it as a key financial impact of the draft rules.
