Two 15-storey automatic car parking towers coming up in Mumbai

The Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation is set to construct two new multi-level mechanical public car parking facilities. One in Central Mumbai and the other in South Mumbai. The Matunga facility in Central Mumbai will be equipped to facilitate 475 vehicles, while the Mumbadevi facility in South Mumbai will have the capacity to accommodate 546 vehicles.

These facilities will be of a 15-storeyed parking tower each and will have a mechanized robotic system that will operate through a digital control room. There will be platforms on all floors that will house the cars. The platforms will be able to move up and down automatically.

 The parking towers will not use the existing road space and will be created inside built space. The main advantage is that parking spaces on roads will not be required after the facilities become operational.
