These norms will make it mandatory for residential buildings to increase parking space and in the case of multiplex and cinema theatres, parking space has been doubled. The IT buildings too have been asked to provide sufficient parking facility in the premises.

Residential buildings in the congested as well as non-congested areas should henceforth make provision of parking space for three cars, four scooters and two cycles for every tenement of 150 sq metres and above in the residential buildings instead of the provision for two cars, two scooters and two cycles now.

For tenements admeasuring 80 - 150 sq metre in residential buildings, there should be parking space for two cars, three scooters and four cycles as against one car, two scooters and two cycles now.

However, there is no change for tenements in the 40-80 sq metres and up to 40 sq metres wherein provision of parking space for one car, four scooters and four cycles remain.

The parking norms for mangal karyalaya and community hall have also been increased to five cars, 20 scooters and eight cycles from the existing provision of three cars, 12 scooters and four cycles.

For schools, the PMC has made it mandatory for providing parking space to two buses and 60 cycles with no provision for scooters for every three classrooms.

An independent building which is specially designed for parking shall be allowed within the same property and if some floors of the building are proposed to be shown as entire parking floor then that floor height should be deducted from height of that building.
