Why this matters

3.0 × 6.0 m fits the largest common Indian sedan plus opening clearance for both side doors and a margin for the boot to open. This is the size used when each parking is dedicated to a specific unit.

Typical practice

Premium housing and individual basement parks. Common parking can use the smaller 2.75 × 5.0 m size.
