The revised rates will be effective from May 1.
"The Metro parking charges have not been changed for the last five years and the current charges are very much lower than the parking charges being levied by Civic agencies for their parking lots," the Delhi Metro Rail Corporation (DMRC) said.
"The Metro parking charges have not been changed for the last five years and the current charges are very much lower than the parking charges being levied by Civic agencies for their parking lots. It is therefore necessary to rationalize the Metro parking charges in view of higher charges by the Civic agencies," it added.
"The Metro parking rates will be four times the prevalent rates from tomorrow onwards in order to discourage use of private vehicles owing to prevalent weather conditions. The hike is as per the decision taken today in a meeting chaired by the Lt. Governor till further directions," a notification by the DMRC, dated November 8, read.
