Pay & display parking system for Bengaluru

Traffic Bangalore Congestion parking Private transport meter paid parking pay parking meter display charging pay & park
200 crore for vehicle parking in the BBMP budget and not a mention of charging for the same? @ 5 lakhs per parking meter (Brigade road type) installed every 100 meters one can get 4000 meters & paid parking on 400 kms of roads in Bengaluru for this amount. I am hoping that should cover the CBD and more.
if you assume 10 rupees per hour and the slots are occupied 20 hours a day, there will be around 14 lots per 100 mtrs. So the possible collection amount per day becomes 1.12 crores which translates to a break even in 6 months(non discounted). 20 rupees per hour should get you 200 crores of meter expense alone in 3 months. BBMP can make a killing here. I am sure the cost of the meter will come down if we are looking at 4000 meters instead of the 8 bought for brigade road.
If a parking inspector covers 4km an hour a 2 shift 20 hour schedule will need around 10 inspectors to cover 400 kms. Tow trucks & other ticketing equipment makes up for non recurring cost.
Leave parking buildings to private parties, if there is business sense they will invest. Put that 200 crores on parking ticket machines for CBD, it will mean the first step towards congestion charging. Second step will be corridor/perimeter pricing.
Here is a case study of how other cities have profited from this. Some quotes from the linked case study
Without the income provided by parking, city taxes would have to rise by about 4% or 5%.
People pay 99% of the time
Citizens who work downtown are being urged to take the bus or subway.

With BBMP elections over, street paid parking will it come back

With BBMP in very much need of funds, Street Paid parking should help Corporation to get some financial relief and will help people to use more public Transport.
Same time, Advertisment revenue for BBMP should jump in multiple times if the Commissioner acts in good interest.

Delhi Municipal Corporation Bans Paid Parking at Over 70 Malls,
Sanjeev - 5 November, 2015 - 05:57
Paid parking at around 75 malls and hospitals falling in the South Delhi Municipal Corporation (SDMC) area has been banned following growing complaints of high fees being charged for use of these facilities.
The decision to ban paid parking was taken today at a meeting of the Standing Committee of the civic body.
"The decision was taken in view of the complaints that private parking facilities at malls and hospitals charge high fees, in the range of Rs. 50-100, for parking of vehicles," said Radhe Shyam Sharma, Chairman of SDMC's Standing Committee.
The malls and hospitals normally take the benefit of FAR (Floor Area Ratio) relaxation in the name of free parking facilities which, however, they do not usually provide to the visitors, he said.
The decision was backed by the MCD Act, which necessitates prior permission of the civic body for carrying out any commercial activity under its jurisdiction, the officer added.

The area inside the ORR is around 320 Sq Kms administered by BBMP. It can be considered to be the core City area and be managed like a CBD for provisioning of facilities and congestion charging purposes
For 740SqKm city, Arterial and sub-arterial network — 450 km of roads & Roads (inclusive of bylanes) — 3,500 km. Assuming 50 % of that is within ORR we should have 2000Kms of roads. If we leave out the residential areas we can narrow down to 400Kms of Arterial, Sub arterial & Collector streets for parking enforcement using automated meters.
