Greater Noida Big Update: What comes as good news for the residents of Greater Noida is that they will soon get smart paid parking in several prominent and busy areas. The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority is going to appoint an agency to start a smart paid parking system. Greater Noida has several parking spaces in residential, commercial and market areas. But vehicles at these places are often parked haphazardly, leading to encroachment in several areas.

Noida Authority To Appoint Agency For Smart Paid Parking System Operations

The Greater Noida Industrial Development Authority is planning to hire a private agency which will develop and operate a smart paid parking system for it.

“The proposed system will provide real-time information on available parking spaces, enable cashless payments and improve vehicle safety and monitoring, while also generating revenue. Greater Noida’s markets witness heavy footfall but often face severe congestion due to haphazard parking,” Hindustan Times quoted a Greater Noida authority officer, requesting anonymity.

Prominent areas such as Jagat Farm Market, which is famous for its street food, clothing, electronics and daily-use items, market in Alpha 1 and Gaur City Mall face problems of unauthorised roadside parking.

The plan is to link parking data to the authority’s integrated command and control centre for proper monitoring. Interested firms can submit their proposals till May 28.
