Bengaluru Airport: Overstay Charges Kick In For Private Vehicles Today

• Bengaluru's Kempegowda International Airport (BIAL) will implement "overstay charges" for private vehicles in arrival pick-up zones starting December 11 (T2) and December 13 (T1).
• Private vehicles get 8 minutes free; exceeding this incurs charges: Rs 150 for 8-13 minutes and Rs 300 for 13-18 minutes.
• Vehicles staying over 18 minutes will be towed to the nearest police station and face fines.
• The new measures aim to streamline kerbside movement, following a similar plan in May 2024 that was suspended due to public backlash.
• Commercial vehicles must use designated parking zones with the first 10 minutes free.
