11 Paid Parking Spots in Karachi

While many major roads in Karachi now offer free parking, the city government has clarified that 11 parking areas will continue to charge fees. These locations are typically enclosed or have boundary walls and are owned by the Karachi Metropolitan Corporation (KMC). They are usually busy spots like large shopping areas.

KMC also stated that this change to free parking on some roads won’t significantly impact the city’s income. Most of the money earned from parking comes from these enclosed, paid sites, not from open-road parking.

Paid Parking Zones:

Name of Sites	District
Sindbad – Gulshan-e-Iqbal	East
Parking Lot – A.O Clinic Nazimabad	Central
Hydri Market Parking Lot & Hydri Sunday Motorcycle Bazaar	Central
Parking Lot – Nazimabad Driving License Branch	Central
Clifton Centre	South
Sassi Arcade – Clifton	South
Paradise Centre – Clifton	South
Plot Between Beach View Parking – Clifton	South
Crystal Court – Clifton	South
Hyper Star Beach View Parking – Clifton	South

Instructions have been issued to charged parking staff, deputy commissioners, and traffic police to stop collecting any parking fees on these roads. Mayor Murtaza Wahab noted that a final decision regarding parking fees in the six cantonment board areas is still pending.
