Maharashtra Parking Space Allotment and Pod Taxi Network

Planned

Maharashtra Transport Minister Pratap Sarnaik announced a new policy requiring proof of an allotted parking space from the relevant civic body for new vehicle registration to tackle parking crisis and traffic congestion in the Mumbai Metropolitan Region (MMR). The Urban Development department is working on permitting the construction of parking plazas beneath designated recreational spaces. Additionally, the state plans to develop a pod taxi network, with Vadodara hosting the world's first commercially ready suspended pod-car transport system, and similar systems planned for Mira-Bhayandar and the Bandra-Kurla Complex (BKC) to enhance connectivity to metro networks.
