Developed under the Maharashtra Regional and Town Planning Act, 1966, this policy takes into account the rapid urbanization of Navi Mumbai.
Public feedback on the policy will be welcomed until the end of January 2025.
The new regulations set specific parking requirements based on the size of residential units.
Properties larger than 1,500 sq ft must provide two four-wheeler and one two-wheeler parking spaces, with an additional slot for every 500 sq ft of extra space.
Homes between 800 and 1,500 sq ft are required to have two four-wheeler and one two-wheeler spaces.
Units sized 600 to 800 sq ft must provide three four-wheeler and two two-wheeler spaces for every two units.
For units between 400 and 600 sq ft, 2.5 four-wheeler and two two-wheeler spaces must be allocated for every two units.
Smaller units measuring 300 to 400 sq ft must offer one four-wheeler and two two-wheeler spaces for every two units.
Additionally, 5% of the total parking area in residential complexes is reserved for visitors, and advanced parking systems, such as stack, multi-level, hydraulic, and mechanical options, are encouraged.
Properties that exceed 50% of the required parking capacity will be charged a fee equivalent to 10% of the land rate as per the Annual Statement of Rates (ASR).
Exemptions are provided for hotels, hospitals, schools, and public or semi-public properties.
For phased developments, complete parking facilities must be implemented upfront.
In cases where subsequent development is delayed, unused parking spaces will be handed over to the NMMC for public use.
Redevelopment projects will only need to meet parking requirements for the new construction while retaining the existing parking layout.
Certain exemptions have been introduced to address challenges in densely populated areas, including properties developed by CIDCO under special schemes and row houses on plots smaller than 30 sq m.
This policy was formulated following a December 2023 Bombay High Court directive, issued after a petition by activist Sandeep Thakur.
An expert committee, led by Jitendra Bhopale and formed by Municipal Commissioner Dr Kailas Shinde in March 2024, submitted recommendations that were incorporated into the policy.
The policy was formally adopted on 30 December 2024 and published in the Maharashtra Government Gazette.
This initiative aims to alleviate congestion, improve residential parking infrastructure, and enhance the quality of life for residents across Navi Mumbai.
The policy represents a significant step toward smarter urban planning, combining community feedback, modern technology, and sustainable development practices.
