This move comes after the successful implementation of NETC program for toll payments, NPCI is now geared-up to expand the contactless car parking solution across the country.

Mr. Neeraj Duggal, Brookfield Mall, said “At Brookfield Mall, we have always taken pride in bringing new innovations in our operations and visitor experience. Working with ValetEZ to have NETC FASTag enabled Contactless Parking is in keeping with this ethos and ensures a safe and better parking experience for our Brookfield community.”

We are delighted to partner with NPCI to enable commuters to pay parking charges using FASTag at Brookfield Mall in a hassle-free and contactless manner.

We believe that using this technology to collect parking charges will also increase the penetration of electronic payments thereby reducing cash transactions.”

Akhilesh Srivastava, COO IHMCL, said, “The FASTag has provided seamless experience to the highway users at the toll plazas across the country. With seamless parking service of FASTag being extended to users it will make their daily commute comfortable. NETC FASTag for parking will be a game changer and will make lives easier for everyone in the country. My best wishes to the ambitious program.”
