Unable to run cucumber features in parallel using Maven Surefire and Failsafe plugins

Question

I am facing issue in running my cucumber feature files in parallel.

I went through several tutorials / posts / blogs and they all recommend to use Maven surefire / failsafe plugin to run them in parallel. I tried that as well but still no luck.

Below is my code:

        <project.build.sourceEncoding>UTF-8</project.build.sourceEncoding>
        <java.version>11</java.version>
        <junit.version>4.13.2</junit.version>
        <cucumber.version>6.9.1</cucumber.version>
        <maven.compiler.version>3.8.1</maven.compiler.version>
        <maven.surefire.version>2.22.2</maven.surefire.version>
    </properties>

Below is my Runner file:

@CucumberOptions(
        features= {"src/test/resources/features/"}
        ,glue = {"com.project.api.stepdefinition"},
        plugin = {"pretty:target/cucumber/cucumber.txt",
                "json:target/cucumber/cucumber.json",
                "com.project.reporting.ReportListener"
        }
        //,dryRun = true
        ,monochrome = true
        ,snippets = SnippetType.CAMELCASE
        ,tags = "@Organization"
        ,publish = true
        )

In my @Before annotation (Which runs before every Scenario), I am printing the current thread ID and every time I am getting Thread ID as 1 and all Scenarios of all features are running sequentially.

Can someone please help me out here as what I am doing wrong.

Thanks
