Maharashtra Parking Rule 2025: What It Means for Car Owners & Home Buyers

I. Introduction

The Maharashtra government has introduced a landmark policy change to address the state’s chronic parking issues. Starting soon, **new vehicle registrations will require documented proof of a parking space**—a step aimed at curbing urban congestion.

II. What Is the New Vehicle-Parking Rule?

• Proof of parking is mandatory to register a new vehicle
• Applies to cities like Mumbai, Thane, Kalyan, Navi Mumbai
• Documents accepted: property papers with parking or notarized parking agreements
• Rollout expected within the next 3–6 months

Inspired by successful policies in countries like Japan and Singapore, this move is seen as essential for managing vehicular growth.

III. Why This Rule Has Been Introduced

With vehicle ownership growing 8–10% annually in Maharashtra, parking shortages have led to severe congestion and illegal parking. The new rule encourages accountability and better urban planning.

IV. Impact on Home Buyers and Car Owners

• New car buyers must show proof of parking before registration
• Apartment dwellers will need formally allocated parking
• Increased demand for properties offering dedicated parking
• Old societies may struggle to accommodate additional vehicles

V. What This Means for Real Estate

This rule is reshaping real estate priorities:

• Buyers are prioritizing basement/multi-level parking
• Developers must provide dedicated parking spaces
• Features like EV zones and secure, gated access become key USPs
• Krishna Trident and similar projects in Kalyan offer future-ready solutions
