Affordable Robotic & Automation Limited (ARAPL) has secured an order worth approximately ₹19 crore for its next-generation Automated Guided Vehicle (AGV)-based automated car parking technology. The company announced that this is the largest single order received in its AGV car parking business since the commercial launch of the product in September 2026. The order marks a milestone in the commercialisation of its robotic parking solutions marketed under the Relipark brand.
The company’s AGV-based parking technology uses battery-operated autonomous mobile robots to transport and position vehicles within parking facilities. The system is designed to improve parking space utilisation, reduce dependence on conventional mechanical infrastructure and provide greater operational flexibility. Unlike traditional multi-level parking systems that rely on interconnected chains, conveyors, bearings, pallets and multiple motors, the new architecture uses a fleet of autonomous robots to manage vehicle parking and retrieval operations. The company stated that its fleet-based approach allows another robot to take over tasks if one unit becomes unavailable, helping maintain operational continuity and reduce maintenance requirements.
ARAPL has introduced its robotic parking product portfolio under the Relipark brand, building on its experience in industrial automation, warehouse robotics and automated parking systems. Its first model, 2M, is designed to retrieve parked vehicles in approximately two minutes, subject to project configuration and operating conditions. The company has already launched the 2M mobile robot, while the 2M Slim model is scheduled for launch by the end of 2026. The next model, VaLe, based on a valet-parking concept, is expected to launch by October 2027. Two additional models designed for outdoor parking applications are under development for 2028.
The company is also targeting real estate developers and infrastructure owners through flexible commercial models. Under its proposed arrangements, eligible projects may be able to deploy automated parking infrastructure with zero upfront investment or on a cost-neutral basis, depending on project feasibility and mutually agreed terms. Relipark plans to offer free parking infrastructure for up to 20 qualifying projects by the end of 2027, subject to technical assessments and commercial agreements. According to the company, its simplified robotic architecture is expected to reduce post-installation maintenance costs by approximately 40% compared with conventional multi-level mechanical parking systems. Actual savings will depend on project design and operating conditions.
As part of its international expansion strategy, Relipark will showcase its automated parking solutions at Airport Parking Network London from November 18 to 20, 2026, and ACETECH Mumbai 2026 from November 19 to 22, 2026. At the London exhibition, the company plans to engage with international airport operators and parking management companies to explore opportunities in the UK and other international markets. Its brownfield solutions are designed for existing parking facilities where extensive structural modifications may be difficult or commercially impractical. Based on preliminary engineering assessments, the technology could increase parking capacity by approximately 40% to 50% at suitable locations, depending on site conditions and technical feasibility.
ARAPL has also submitted proposals to several airport stakeholders and is exploring potential joint ventures with parking management companies in the UK. In India, the company will use ACETECH Mumbai 2026 to showcase its solutions to real estate developers, architects and infrastructure companies, with a focus on integrating robotic parking systems into new residential, commercial and mixed-use developments.
