Taking forward the plans to decongest Mumbai with the help of housing societies, Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) Commissioner Praveen Pardeshi, through the Mumbai Parking Authority (MPA), has appealed to societies, real estate bodies such as CREDAI-MCHI (Maharashtra Chamber of Housing) and commercial institutions to join the 'City Parking Pool'.

Pardeshi has indicated that there could be incentives for private players which participate in this initiative. Mid-day was the first to report about BMC eyeing private societies to increase the city's parking space on October 30, 2018.
