Ø Government to develop
3 vehicle scrapping facilities in every district …………[ ET – 14 Sept 2022 ]
Extract :
Road Transport and
Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari on Wednesday said that the Centre is planning
to develop at least three registered vehicle scrapping facilities in every district across the country.
"In every
district, we can open 3 registered vehicle scrapping facilities," he said.
It will take an
investment of Rs 35-40 crore
We already have some
10-12 units operational “
Gadkari noted that the
country has 1.02 crore vehicles that need to be scrapped as per the Vahaan record
PM Modi had launched
the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy in August last year and had said it will
help phase out unfit and polluting vehicles and also promote a circular
economy.
Under the new policy,
the Centre had said the states and Union Territories (UTs) will provide up to
25 per cent tax rebate on road tax for vehicles that are purchased after
scrapping old vehicles.
The
vehicle scrappage policy came into effect on April 1, 2022.
Announced in the Union Budget 2021-22, the
policy provides for fitness tests after 20 years for personal vehicles, while
commercial vehicles will require it after the completion of 15 years.

Scrapping Facility Within 150 Km Of Each City [

Extract :
Developing a large number of vehicle scrapping centres, we can also
develop multiple authorised collection centres of vehicle scrapping units in
one city, which will have the authority to deregister a vehicle and issue
deposit certificates," he said.
He
had also said that the material recycling sector gives direct and indirect employment to 4 crore people and this number is expected to go up to 5 crore by
2025.
At
Friday's event Mr Gadkari said:
"India
has potential to become a vehicle scrapping hub
of the entire South Asian region.
We can import a large number of old
vehicles from Bangladesh, Bhutan, Myanmar,
Maldives, Nepal and Sri Lanka for scrapping in our country."
The
minister also observed that there is a challenge to establish a circular economy
to recover maximum value from the scrap or end-of-life vehicles.
"The technology used for scrapping will be the game changer in
deciding the economics of scrapping and recycling," he said, adding that
the equipment can be installed at the scrapping unit to maximise raw material
extraction or dismantling equipment.

Minister for road, transport and highways Nitin Gadkari said he has
consulted with the minister for steel, Jyotiraditya Scindia, regarding putting
forth a proposal to the finance ministry to consider some concession in GST
rates for those purchasing new commercial vehicles, after scrapping old ones.
“ The pollution from one old truck is equal to the
pollution of 15 new trucks, so it is imperative we scrap them. I request vehicle makers to offer a discount to
a buyer who has a scrappage certificate “, said Gadkari
Gadkari said overall 10 million vehicles
are scrappage worthy.
“ There is a potential of using copper, aluminium , steel, and rubber
scrap, recycling them and using it for self consumption, which can save cost by 30 % “ , he said
Ø In India, we have
780 districts
Ø Hence, as per
Shri Gadkariji, we require to set up 2,340 Vehicle Scrapping units
Ø Average
processing / installed capacity of a Vehicle Scrapping Unit = 30,000 / year
Ø Hence, existing
12 units could scrap : 12x30,000 = 3.6 lakh vehicles
in ONE YEAR
Ø As per Shri
Gadkariji, some 1.02 crore ( 102 lakh ) old
vehicles need immediate scrapping
Ø Hence, if no more
units get added, then it will take 28 YEARS for existing 12 units !
Hence the urgency to set up many more units, in a hurry
But,
Shri Gadkariji is talking of 2340 units ( of
course, that may take 10 years )
Question :
Will there be enough OLD vehicles available to keep all of these 2340 units
occupied
round the year ?
Their combined ANNUAL processing capacity could be : 2340 x 30,000 =
70,200,000 [ 70 Million ] – of course, after 10 years ( even if all 2340 do come
up ) – far in excess of our local domestic
market
Apparently Shri Gadkari seems to have read my following earlier e-mails, where I
suggested :

Ø
Treat the entire world’s need ( for scrapping old ICE vehicles )
as our market
Ø If entire World wants to switch over to Electric Vehicles in next 20 years, then the
number of Petrol – Diesel vehicles to be scrapped could well be 200 Million per
year !
Ø Of this, India should target to capture a 25 % market share, at 50 million vehicles
per year ( inclusive of scrapping of our own old vehicles )
Ø In India alone, that figure could be as high as 20 Million per year for next 20
years ( - as compared to
current level of 4 million ) !
Ø Start a new initiative called “ Break In India “
Extract :
Countries all around the World, are in the process of phasing out Petrol-Diesel
vehicles and switching over to

Dear Nitinbhai,
Both , on East and West, India has a huge 15,200 km coast-line with 15 major
and
180 intermediate / minor ports ,
I urge you to plan for setting-up Vehicle Scrapping Units near these ports to
handle every year, 50 million old vehicles arriving from all over the World, as
suggested in my above-mentioned e-mails
With regards,
