The Noida Authority on Saturday said it will develop three puzzle-parking facilities in the industrial township by 2025 to ease traffic congestion.

“Puzzle parking is also called stack parking. The reason it is called so is that the vehicles can be moved up and down with the help of several stands and slots. The vehicles while being parked won’t come in contact with each other and this will reduce the time that goes in parking,” M Lokesh, chief executive officer (CEO), Noida Authority, told The Indian Express.

“This is on the line of puzzle parking developed in Delhi by New Delhi Municipal Council,” he said, adding that the puzzle-parking facilities are slated to come up at Savitri Market in Sector 18, Ramleela Maidan in Sector 62, and Sector 124.

“The parking facilities will be developed on the the public-private-partnership model and the authority will float a tender within two months. We have asked the planning department to ascertain that there is no land-acquisition problem,” said the CEO.

Automated system, sliding platforms

“These areas see huge traffic congestion due to vehicles parked almost everywhere. The puzzle-parking facilities will be an automated parking system and will consist of sliding platforms on various levels. As they (platforms) can slide over each other, the vehicles can be easily rotated and moved. This will provide more space to accommodate vehicles,” the official informed.

The CEO also said that the puzzle-parking systems will be developed on a revenue-sharing model and the authorities are yet to ascertain the amount required to develop each puzzle-parking facility. It has been learnt that the agency selected to develop the facilities will also be nominated to maintain them.

“If the project is successful in these areas, we will think of expanding the project further,” the CEO concluded.
