Hyderabad gets this smart facility to tackle parking challenges; check what it means

In an effort to ease parking woes in the city, the GHMC on Saturday launched a state-of-the-art multilevel smart parking facility at KBR Park.

Inaugurated by Greater Hyderabad Municipal Corporation Mayor Vijaylaxmi R Gadwal, the facility is described as the city's “first automated smart rotary parking system in a public space.”

How does it work?

The project, developed with GHMC’s support and executed by Nava Nirman Associates under a Public-Private Partnership (PPP) model, aims to streamline parking in the area, the GHMC said in a release.


KBR National Park in Banjara Hills is one of Hyderabad’s busiest stretches, often witnessing heavy traffic.

The vertical rotary parking system maximises parking capacity while using minimal urban land, the release said.

The facility is expected to contribute significantly to smoother traffic flow, improved pedestrian safety, and greater convenience for both commuters and park visitors.

It is a space-efficient vertical mechanised rotary structure, with parking capacity for 72 cars and designated two-wheeler slots.

Other key features include Radio-frequency identification-enabled entry and exit, and EV charging points.

It also boasts advanced safety features, including load-balance sensors, locking systems, CCTV monitoring, and emergency response mechanisms.

GHMC officials said the facility will provide major relief from traffic issues by reducing illegal roadside parking, reclaiming footpaths for pedestrians, and easing overall traffic movement around KBR Park and adjoining commercial zones.

The model is expected to be replicated across other high-density and congestion-prone urban locations in the city.
