Seven systems, because site geometry decides
A manufacturer who offers one format loses every enquiry that does not fit it. We carry the full range so we can propose the right system for your plot rather than the only one we make.
Stack
Stack Parking (2-Post / 4-Post)
A platform lifts one car above another. Simplest format, lowest engineering content. Dependent — the upper car needs the lower bay cleared.
₹1.00–1.50 Lakh Per Bay
Scissor
Scissor Parking
Hydraulic scissor lift for two-level parking where headroom or structure will not take a post system. A retrofit product.
₹1.50–2.00 Lakh Per Bay
Puzzle
Puzzle Parking (2–5 Level)
Platforms move horizontally and vertically so any car is retrieved independently. The workhorse of the Indian market.
₹2.00–2.50 Lakh Per Bay
Tower
Parking Tower
A central vertical lift with storage shelves either side. Extracts the most bays from the smallest ground footprint.
₹3.00–4.00 Lakh Per Bay
Rotary
Rotary Parking
A continuous vertical carousel. Very small footprint, quick to install, typically 8 to 16 bays per unit.
₹3.00–4.00 Lakh Per Bay
Shuttle
Shuttle Systems
A powered shuttle traverses a rack and places vehicles into bays. High throughput on wide footprints.
₹4.00–5.00 Lakh Per Bay
Circular
Circular Parking Tower (ASRS)
Fully automated storage and retrieval. The driver leaves the car on a turntable; the system does the rest.
₹4.50–6.00 Lakh Per Bay
Parking norms, city by city
Parking requirements in India are set city by city and change often. We maintain a free, verified reference so you can see what your plot must provide — and whether it can be met mechanically.

Mechanical car parking: common questions
What is a mechanical car parking system?
A mechanical car parking system stores cars on steel platforms that are lifted, lowered or moved sideways, so several cars occupy the floor area of one conventional bay with its aisle. Formats range from two-level stackers to puzzle systems and fully automated towers, typically giving four to six times the bays on the same land.
How much does mechanical car parking cost in India?
Indicative prices range from about ₹1 lakh per bay for a two-level stack system to about ₹6 lakh per bay for fully automated towers. Stack: ₹1–1.5 lakh; Scissor: ₹1.5–2 lakh; Puzzle: ₹2–2.5 lakh; Tower: ₹3–4 lakh; Rotary: ₹3–4 lakh; Shuttle: ₹4–5 lakh; Circular: ₹4.5–6 lakh. The final price depends on the number of levels, the site and the vehicle profile.
What is the difference between dependent and independent parking systems?
In a dependent system, such as a two-level stacker, the lower car must be moved before the upper car can leave, so it suits bays allotted to one household. In an independent system any car can be retrieved without moving another — Puzzle, Tower, Rotary, Shuttle, Circular systems work this way, which suits visitors, offices and commercial buildings.
Is mechanical parking allowed under Indian building rules?
Most Indian cities permit mechanical or automated parking to count towards the required parking, but the conditions differ: some credit each car position, some set an area per car, and some limit stack parking to certain floors. The WAParking Compliance Atlas lists the rule and the clause for Ahmedabad, Bengaluru, Chandigarh, Chennai, Coimbatore, Delhi, Goa, Greater Noida, Gurugram, Hyderabad, Kochi, Kolkata, Mumbai, Nagpur, Pune, Surat.
How do I know how many cars my plot can park?
Send your plot dimensions and available headroom for a free parking yield audit. Within seventy-two hours WAParking returns the bays the site yields conventionally, the bays it yields mechanically, and the floor area that releases.
