Islamabad’s first modern digital parking plaza in Blue Area is now fully operational. The CDA said the facility can accommodate more than 1,200 vehicles and will run around the clock throughout the week.
Parking will be free for the first few days. After that, motorists will pay Rs100 per car and Rs50 per motorcycle, although the first 20 minutes will remain free. The opening comes as complaints about haphazard parking, traffic congestion and a shortage of designated spaces in the capital’s major commercial areas persist.
Digital monitoring and cashless payments at the plaza
The authority said a digital parking management and monitoring system has been installed to control vehicle entry and exit and strengthen security. Motorists will receive digital receipts and can pay through cashless or online options. Charges will be collected when vehicles leave the facility.

Rooftop restaurant and shops in the plaza
The project is described as an important step toward modern digital parking in the federal capital. The digital systems are expected to offer citizens secure facilities and a transparent process for paying parking charges. A restaurant will be set up on the rooftop, and the auction of several commercial shops in the plaza has been completed.
