Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh: The city's first automatic hydraulic puzzle parking project, inspired by South Korean technology, has encountered a setback over land allocation, halting Bhopal Municipal Corporation's (BMC) plan for the Number 10 Market in Arera Colony. Despite two years of development efforts, the BMC has not secured the necessary land.
The project, costing between ₹10–15 crore, faced objections from residents and land-use concerns stemming from the draft Bhopal Master Plan-2047. Instead of a traditional multi-level parking facility, which encountered opposition over land-use change and concerns about existing parking usage, the BMC aims to implement a mechanical puzzle parking system.
This innovative approach utilizes mechanical platforms, chain drives, and hydraulic mechanisms to create compact parking spaces without extensive area requirements. Similar systems have been installed in various cities, including Hyderabad, Mumbai, and Bengaluru. However, despite issuing tenders for the project, no company has agreed to proceed, owing to the unresolved land allocation issue.
The BMC remains committed to resolving any land-related concerns and expediting the project if necessary, ensuring coordination with all relevant departments.
