Top police officers have requested the Calcutta Municipal Corporation (CMC), co-promoter of the Rs 32-crore Simpark, to look into the problem after cars lining up for an underground parking slot choked the length of Lindsay Street on Sunday. It was much the same on Wednesday, with cars having to wait as many as 20 minutes each for their turn on the hydraulic ramp.

The ripple effect on traffic around Lindsay Street left the traffic personnel on duty at the end of their tether.

“We first got a taste of it on Sunday, which was the start of the season of festive buying. Nothing moved along Lindsay Street for some time in the evening. We have spoken to the CMC and its partner (Simplex Projects Ltd) about the chaos,” additio18parkonal police commissioner K. Hari Rajan told Metro.

At 3.42pm on Wednesday, a Maruti Swift (WB 02U/9425) was third in a row of cars waiting to enter the plaza through the gate opposite Lindsay Hotel. The driver of the car, Biswanth Haith, switched off the engine after 15 minutes as the Simpark operators struggled to cope with the rush.

“It takes far less time to park along the road. Even the parking fee for an hour is less than the Rs 20 per hour that the plaza operators charge. My employer waited in the car for sometime and went shopping. I will probably still be in queue by the time he is back,” he said.

For drivers waiting to take their cars out of the plaza, the wait is just as long and frustrating. Depending on the car count on a given day, the waiting time is between 10 and 20 minutes. Cops fear it will get worse as the festive season peaks.

“There are four ramps to take the cars down and then come up with the ones that are to leave the parking lot. The waiting time increases when a ramp is returning with a parked car,” said an attendant at one of the gates.

Simplex Projects officials said the waiting time for each car was increasing because of the festive rush. “The queues you see are because this is the season for shopping. By January, we hope to start the fifth gate,” said Shantanu Banerjee, an official of the company.

Police have suggested that the hydraulic lifts be converted to electronic ones and the hawkers be removed. “I have asked the additional police commissioner to make suggestions that I will forward to the mayor,” said civic commissioner Alapan Bandyopadhyay.

The Rs 130-crore construction company, which specialises in automated multi-level car parking system, will soon put up model car parking space in four metros to showcase the semi-automatic technology it is getting from a Korean company.

Said Pradeep K Mishra, senior vice-president (finance & accounts), “We believe there is a market for retail car parking technology specially in cities where parking costs are gradually increasing. The technology will enable, say, four cars to be stacked up on one another.”

According to Mishra, monthly car parking fees in apartments at Nariman Point in Mumbai could be as high as Rs 15,000.

Mishra said Simplex, to begin with, would bring four prototype models from the Korean firm. “Once the technology transfer is over, we will start manufacturing the entire system in Kolkata.”

Simplex on Thursday signed a technology transfer agreement with EWW, a Dutch company, for a fully automated car parking system. It will sign another agreement with the Korean company for the technology transfer of the semi-automated parking system.

The money to fund these technology collaborations comes from the private placement of 14 lakh shares at Rs 70 per share to Enam Securities. “We are spending part of the proceeds on technology acquisition.”

Simplex Projects has created a fully-automated multi-level car parking system for 280 cars on built-own-operate & transfer (BOOT) basis for a period of 20 years at New Market, Kolkata.

The company is working with the Delhi Municipality Corp as a consultant for development of 11 car-parking zones. Simplex will develop another three zones itself.

The company is also planning for an initital public offer of 30,00,000 equity shares and plans to raise around Rs 50 crore.
