Why National automobile Scrappage policy is win-win policy?
He further stated that the National automobile Scrappage policy will lead to increment in automobile sales provide employment, reduce import cost, generate incremental GST revenue and help to solve the global shortage of semiconductor chip.
The minister recently launched Voluntary Vehicle-Fleet Modernisation Program (Vehicle Scrapping Policy). He further stressed that the existing vehicle dismantling and recycling industry in India’s unorganized and recycling of older vehicles is not done in an environment-friendly manner. This not only leads to inefficient resource management, but also non-realisation of the full value of high-strength steel alloys and recovery of valuable rare-earth metals. ELV scrapping cycle has a low recovery percentage and many materials get wasted or are not properly recycled. Further quoting a statistic, as per unofficial industry estimates, the recovery percentage in India is about 70-75%, while global benchmarks for recovery from scrapped vehicle are in the range of 85-95%.
