P1 Short Term Parking

₹300 covers a full 24 hours in P1 Short Term Parking.

P1 Short Term Parking sits directly in front of Kolkata’s integrated terminal building serving T1 and T2, with a walk of about 2 minutes from most spaces to the departures ramp. A recent rate board shows ₹40 for 30 minutes, ₹100 for 2 hours, ₹120 for 3 hours, and then scaling up to a flat ₹300 for a 24-hour stay, all on one common tariff card. A Kolkata YouTuber literally films his walk from the car park to the terminal doors, calling it “right in front of the departure gate, just cross the road and go up.”

The airport’s 3,000-space underground structure plus 2,000 outdoor spaces all feed the same on-airport parking system, so P1 Short Term Parking is essentially the regular terminal car park, not a fenced-off VIP forecourt. That means the same ₹300 daily cap applies whether you’re on the underground levels or the surface lot, and you still end up by the same integrated terminal entrance for T1 and T2. You won’t need a shuttle or golf cart; the walk is along marked pedestrian paths across the access road.

Regular CCU flyers mention just driving in, grabbing a ticket at the automated barrier, and paying on exit in cash or card at the pay station, with no widely used online pre-booking for P1 Short Term Parking. For a quick pickup under 30 minutes you’re looking at roughly ₹40, and a same-day morning-to-evening trip usually lands in the ₹100–₹120 range under the 3-hour slab. If your plans might stretch toward overnight, treat anything beyond about 8–10 hours as a full-day park and mentally budget the ₹300 cap from the start.

Practical tip: in peak evening bank times for T2 departures, head straight to an underground level rather than circling the surface lot; you usually save 5–10 minutes and keep that 2-minute walk to the terminal.
