This, after the a dispute between the contractor and the MCD paused work. The three storey underground parking project, with a holding capacity of 308 vehicles, is located near Jangpura block-A and Jangpura Extension in south Delhi. A local resident said there has been no work at the parking for the past at least three years.
Ahead of the 2010 Commonwealth Games (CWG), the unified MCD had commissioned nine such parking projects in the city, including the one in Jangpura. Of the nine parking lots, those in Hauz Khas, Subhash Nagar, and New Friends Colony are currently functioning in the city.
A senior MCD official, overseeing the parking development projects in Delhi, said that the work on the underground parking lot in Jangpura could not be completed due to a dispute with the contractor. "We have blacklisted the company and forfeited its security deposits. The matter is also being pursued legally. A penalty of around Rs 5.5 crore has been imposed on the company, and we are planning to float the tenders to hire a new company to complete the project," the official stated.
Since work began on this project over a decade ago, it's been marred by several delays, especially between 2016 and 2108, mostly due to disputes between the erstwhile South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) and the contractor over payments.
