With millions of devotees expected to attend the Maha Kumbh 2025 , the government has made extensive arrangements to manage the influx of vehicles. An estimated 2.5 million vehicles are anticipated in the city, prompting the introduction of Fastag-based parking facilities to streamline the process.
The advanced parking system can accommodate up to 5,00,000 vehicles simultaneously, allowing for quicker parking and digital payment options. This is expected to reduce congestion and waiting times significantly.
In addition to Fastag-based entry, devotees can also pre-book their parking spots using the Park Plus app, ensuring a hassle-free experience. Key parking locations include Navprayagam (East and West), Tent City, Agriculture Institute, and Saraswati HighTech City East 1.
Officials have emphasised the importance of digital integration in managing the unprecedented crowd. “The Fastag parking system is a step toward efficient and modernised crowd management,” an official said.
With these arrangements, authorities aim to ensure smooth operations and an enhanced experience for all visitors at the Maha Kumbh.
In anticipation of the massive influx of devotees for the Mahakumbh 2025, Western Railway has launched special trains to ensure smooth and safe travel. Ajay Solanki, PRO of Ahmedabad Division Railway, announced that 98 special trains have been introduced, with a focus on passenger convenience, hygiene, and the proper functioning of electric appliances.
