Mumbai airport gets a FASTag-enabled car park

The system would enable quick movement of cars reducing the hassle of waiting in queues.

Mumbai’s Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport has introduced a ‘FASTag Car Park’ at Terminal 2.

The multilevel car park has a designated single lane at the entry and exit for FASTag-enabled cars. This would enable quick movement of cars reducing the hassle of waiting in queues for a parking receipt or payment.

The system works in the same way as FASTag-enabled toll gates. It allows for cashless transactions, reducing waiting times. It will also help reduce congestion and will help save fuel and time.

The airport has also installed six DC fast chargers for EVs. These are located at the P5 parking lot at Terminal 2 and the P1 lot at Terminal 1. The charging stations offer CCS Type II 60kW and GB/T (DC 001) 40kW chargers.

According to the airport authorities, EV owners who use the chargers will be offered deductions against the parking fees.
