Paves the way for a fast, efficient and convenient parking experience for passengers by improving traffic flow and limiting exit delays
In a major step towards smart mobility and digital transformation, passengers travelling from Chhatrapati Shivaji Maharaj International Airport (CSMIA), Mumbai, can utilise the automated digital payment system to enter and exit the Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP). This cashless payment process aims to simplify the payment system, cutting down on wait time, and providing users with a hassle-free parking experience.
The cashless initiative furthers the Digital India initiative of the Government of India, enabling users of the MLCP to pay for parking using various digital options, such as mobile wallets, debit/ credit cards, UPI, or other online payment methods. All customer lanes at the MLCP are enabled with FASTag counters to further speed up entry and exit. FASTag users at CSMIA’s Multi-Level Car Parking (MLCP) can enjoy an automated parking process, eliminating the need for manual intervention in receiving receipts or cash/ card payments.
Currently, at CSMIA’s MLCP, 66 percent users opt for FASTag as their primary mode of payment, while 10-15 percent opt for UPI, credit, or debit card options, with 5 percent pre-booking parking slots. With 85 percent passengers moving towards cashless transactions, CSMIA aims to further eliminate the use of cash by partnering with stakeholders and encouraging customers to adopt automated digital payment methods. However, those passengers who still opt to pay in cash must do so at the designated central payment stations only.
Commenting on the initiative, a CSMIA spokesperson said, “Mumbai Airport continues to set new benchmarks in smart airport solutions, enhancing efficiency, transparency and sustainability through digital innovation. CSMIA’s shift to a digital payment system at the MLCP reflects its commitment to offering modern, efficient parking experience.”
