Here are some estimates of the number of old vehicles that would need to be scrapped :

“In UP alone, there are more than 21 lakh such
vehicles which is around 20% of the total 1 crore such vehicles identified in
the entire country even as more than 50 lakh more such vehicles in UP will
become eligible for the policy after five years,” a senior transport department
official said.
The transport department’s latest report,
accessed by HT, shows that there are more than 21.23 lakh non-transport
(personal/private) and transport (commercial vehicles) that are older than 20
years and 15 years respectively.
Of them, around 19.20 lakh are personal/private
vehicles alone. Commercial vehicles in this category constitute only a little
more than 2.35 lakh.

Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways, Nitin Gadkari shared
the information with the Lok Sabha on Friday
Details of the aging vehicles, not provided in the Parliament ,
have been compiled from the digitized vehicle records from centralized “ Vahan-4
“
Karnataka additional commissioner of transport ( e-governance
and environment ), Shivraj Patil said that one reason for more aged vehicles in
Karnataka, is due to the duplication of database
===================================================
The above-mentioned statistics ( of old vehicles that
must be scrapped by 2023 ), should be read in conjunction with :
Blessing
in Disguise ? ………………………[ 21 March 2021 ]
Extract :
While announcing the Vehicle Scrappage Policy in Lok Sabha
, a few days ago, the figures mentioned by Shri Gadkariji were :
Light Motor Vehicles
# Older
than 20 years…………………………………………. ……51 lakhs
# Older than
15 years( but less than 20 years ).………34 lakhs
Medium and
Heavy Commercial Vehicles
# Older than
15 years without any valid FITNESS certificate…17 lakhs
===============================================
TOTAL…………………………………………………………………………102 lakh [ 10.2
million ]
===================================================
Within a week of that announcement, the figure seems to
have DOUBLED !
Quite likely, even this latest figure ( 24.4 million )
, may not be the last word on the subject !
If true, scrapping 24 million vehicles in next 24 months
will mean, scrapping 1 million vehicles PER MONTH !
Dear Nitinbhai,
You have “ advised “ Vehicle Manufacturers that they give
a 5 % DISCOUNT ( on the sale price of a
new vehicle ) to any buyer, who goes to the dealer with a “ SCRAP CERTIFICATE “
Now, vehicle manufacturers cannot afford to ignore your
“ advice “ –
which they would need to implement by April 2022
So , they have done ( or in the process of doing ) what
any industrialist would do under such circumstances, viz :
Raise the sale price NOW ( or in the next few months )
by 10 % - 15 % - claiming that costs are rising rapidly !
That would enable them to give that 5 % DISCOUNT and claim
to be “ Co-operating “ with the government by following your “ advice “ !
With regards,
