Designed to accommodate the influx of millions of vehicles, this initiative is set to redefine parking management by incorporating FASTag-enabled cashless payments and pre-booking features for pilgrims attending the mega event.
Park+ at Maha Kumbh: A Seamless Parking Solution
With over 30 parking locations around Arail Ghat and other key areas, Park+ offers over 5,00,000 parking slots for a variety of vehicles, including bikes, cars, buses, and even tractors.

CEO’s Vision for Smart Pilgrimage
Amit Lakhotia, Founder & CEO of Park+, emphasized the transformative impact of this system:
“Maha Kumbh 2025 is expected to host over 40 crore pilgrims, with 25+ lakh vehicles entering Prayagraj over 41 days. By integrating FASTag technology and pre-booking features, we aim to remove parking-related stress and create a smooth, memorable experience for all visitors. Our collaboration with the Kumbh Mela Authority is a step towards modernizing large-scale event management in India.”
