End of road for old vehicles in Karnataka

Karnataka is poised to establish its inaugural Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) in Devanahalli, marking a significant development in the state's efforts to modernize its vehicle fleet. While India boasts over 60 RVSEs, this facility will be the first of its kind within Karnataka's borders. The facility is slated to play a pivotal role in the scrapping of aging government vehicles, especially those aged over 15 years or those failing to meet fitness standards.

The state's transport department has granted approval to Mahindra MSTC Recycling Pvt Ltd to spearhead the establishment of this much-needed scrapping facility. Beyond government vehicles, this facility will also extend its services to the general public, allowing them to voluntarily scrap their old and unfit vehicles.

Transport Commissioner Yogeesh AM shed light on the broader context of this initiative, stating, "The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) in 2021 launched the Voluntary Vehicle-Fleet Modernization Programme aimed at creating an ecosystem for phasing out old unsafe, polluting vehicles, and replacing them with newer, safe and fuel-efficient vehicles."

He emphasized that the vehicle scrappage policy represents a win-win scenario for all stakeholders involved, as it not only facilitates the removal of unfit and environmentally harmful vehicles from the state's roads but also underscores the need for state-of-the-art scrapping and recycling units to support this pivotal objective.
