Cidco unveils multi-level car parking facility in Mumbai's Kharkopar, project completed in 42 days
The City and Industrial Development Corporation (Cidco) has developed a multi-level car parking (MLCP) complex at its housing scheme in Kharkopar, under the Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana (PMAY).
Built as part of Cidco's mega-sized affordable housing plan, the parking complex is set to address the increasing parking needs in high-density residential areas.
Spread over a built-up area of 1.43 lakh sqft, the building has space for 365 four-wheelers in six levels of parking, and the ground floor is earmarked for a community centre.
Built on Plot No. 3 under Package 4 of Cidco's 67,000 tenement mass housing project, the MLCP caters to an acute requirement for planned parking space in the rapidly growing node of Kharkopar.
Besides, the project's record-breaking completion in just 42 days, three days before the deadline, has been making waves.
'Projects like these generally take six months, but Cidco did it in less than half the time by employing state-of-the-art precast technology. More than 2,200 precast elements were employed to build the Reinforced Cement Concrete (RCC) structure from plinth to terrace,' said the Cidco spokesperson.
Shantanu Goel, Cidco Joint Managing Director, in charge of the housing projects, said, 'This facility is not all about speed. It's about addressing genuine urban issues. As car ownership per capita increases and city land becomes more limited, parking has become a serious issue. MLCPs such as this are necessary to facilitate regular growth in residential areas.'
The project further supports Cidco's long-term vision of developing self-sustaining, high-quality living spaces.
Cidco's housing complexes — situated in Navi Mumbai nodes — already provide strong amenities and connectivity.
The inclusion of dedicated parking infrastructure further enhances the convenience and safety of the residents.
