For commuter convenience and enhanced connectivity to the high speed Airport Metro Express Line (AMEL), a multi-level car parking is coming up close to Shivaji Stadium Metro station in central Delhi, officials said on Monday.

To be operational in a month's time, the parking facility will be close to Connaught Place and provide relief to thousands using the metro.

"The new multi-level parking area will come up at Shivaji Stadium Airport Metro station, with a parking capacity of 1,400 cars. It will be operational by the end of this month," said a spokesperson of Reliance Infrastructure, the concessionaire company.

Already, a multi-level car parking is operational at New Delhi Airport Metro station.

"The multi-level parking lot will give additional commuter convenience and connectivity to the airport Metro. These parking lots can be used by non commuters who need to park their cars and enjoy the retail experience at these Metro stations," said the spokesperson.

Currently the AMEL attracts a footfall of 20,000 on an average every day. The metro authorities require more ridership with the opening of car parking facilities.

Built at a cost of Rs.5,700 crore, the 23km Airport Metro Express line has six stations: New Delhi Railway Station, Shivaji Stadium, Dhaula Kuan, Delhi Aero City, Indira Gandhi International Airport and Dwarka Sector 21.
