Salik's non-toll revenue reached Dh8.7 million in H1 2025, driven mainly by its parking payment solutions partnerships with Emaar Malls and Parkonic, the company said. At Dubai Mall — where Salik launched its first barrier-free parking payment solution with Emaar Malls on July 1, 2024 — the partnership generated Dh5.6 million in H1 2025, including Dh2.9 million in Q2. The solution was implemented across the Fashion, Grand and Cinema parking zones of the mall. The collaboration with Parkonic — one of the largest private parking operators in the UAE — is a five-year agreement to integrate Salik accounts in all current and future locations it operates across the country. Operations are now live in 73 of 154 planned sites since mid-February. The tie-up also marks Salik's first expansion of services outside Dubai.
