1. Objective

1.1 Facility of parking of private and public motor vehicle in railway station premises - an important
passenger amenity - is being provided by the Railways, which, in most of the Railway stations is
outsourced and at some of stations wherever outsourcing is not feasible, the service is managed
departmentally. While the primary objective of this policy is to extend parking facility to the passengers
as an important amenity at station, this should also be handled as revenue earning activity of Railways.
1.2 The railways should make efforts to provide parking facilities at all the stations where such
facilities are required. For this purpose, a team of nominated Engineering and Commercial officers shall
finalize a plan for each stations after conducting a survey of the proposed parking area with locations
and dimensions clearly marked on the plan.

1.3 To prevent encroachment into additional area (over & above the allotted and earmarked parking

a time, with the concurrence of Divisional Finance and the approval of DRM/ADRM.

2.2 The process of fresh tendering should be initiated four months before the expiry of the existing
contract so that there is no time gap between the expiry of existing contract and commencement of the

new one.

2.3 At ‘F’ category halt stations/operated by halt agents, parking contracts can also be given to halt
agents in addition to the halt contract on a fixed reserve price based on assessed
