Park+, India’s leading auto-tech super app, has introduced Prayagraj’s first smart parking management system in preparation for Maha Kumbh 2025. This innovative solution allows pilgrims visiting the holy event to seamlessly discover, book, and prepay for parking spots in government-approved locations. With this service, car owners can also utilize their FASTag for hassle-free, cashless parking payments, marking a significant milestone for the region’s parking infrastructure.
Revolutionizing Parking at Maha Kumbh
The Park+ app offers a user-friendly interface where visitors can locate and secure a safe and convenient parking spot near key locations, including Navprayagam (East and West), Tent City, Agriculture Institute, and Saraswati Hi-Tech City East 1. With over 30 parking sites accommodating up to 500,000 vehicles in the Arail Ghat area, Park+ ensures efficient parking management for the massive influx of pilgrims expected at Maha Kumbh 2025.
FASTag-enabled payments further enhance the user experience, enabling cars, taxis, and buses to pay for parking spots without human intervention. In a unique collaboration with Indian Oil, Park+ users can also access exclusive discounts on fuel through the “Prayagraj Ka Sabse Sasta Petrol” initiative.
