Vehicle Scrapping policy
In order to phase out old and unfit automobiles that emit pollution and to ensure the supply of rare-earth metals and raw materials for the steel industry, Prime Minister Narendra Modi introduced the vehicle scrappage programme in August 2021.
The Vehicle Scrappage Policy is a government-funded initiative to remove outdated and unsafe automobiles off Indian roadways and replace them with newer, more contemporary vehicles. The policy’s main objective is to establish a framework for gradually phasing out unsafe and polluting automobiles in order to reduce the nation’s carbon footprint.
