Ashok Leyland and Rosmerta Recycling Join Hands to Boost Commercial Vehicle Scrappage

The Hinduja Group's Ashok Leyland announced a partnership with Rosmerta Recycling, a vehicle recycling company, to shred outdated commercial vehicles throughout the nation on July 6. Ashok Leyland announced it will make it easy for customers to use Rosmerta Recycling's authorised scrappage facilities by leveraging its dealer network across the country. With the help of this new cooperation, consumers will be able to easily scrap their vehicles from start to finish, including assistance with deregistration and all the necessary legal paperwork.

Across India, Rosmerta Recycling, headquartered in Gurugram, runs RVSFs, or Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities. Therefore, according to Ashok Leyland, it is possible to maximise material recovery and promote the circular economy through the safe, compliant, and ecologically responsible disassembly of end-of-life vehicles. According to the corporation, this decision is in keeping with the federal government's voluntary vehicle modernisation programme, which promotes the swap-out of older, dirtier cars for newer, more fuel-efficient ones.

Deal Making Vehicle Scrapping Sector More Organised

According to Ashok Leyland's national head of sales Madhavi Deshmukh, there is a large fleet of old commercial vehicles in India. Therefore, it is crucial to have a scrappage ecology that is structured, transparent, and friendly to customers. By collaborating with Rosmerta Recycling, Leyland is streamlining the process of responsible vehicle disposal and facilitating the upgrade to more modern, environmentally friendly, and fuel-efficient commercial vehicles for its clients.

Thanks to the partnership, consumers will be able to get more money for their old cars and take advantage of OEM discounts when they buy new ones. The business also announced that, in accordance with relevant government rules, it will forgo registration and road tax expenses. According to Kartick Nagpal, President of Rosmerta Group, the government's new programmes to replace commercial vehicles are likely to hasten the organised scrapping of old vehicles throughout India.

Delhi Cabinet Clears INR 15,000 Crore Electric Vehicle Policy

Commercial goods vehicles account for 33% of pollution, while two- and three-wheelers account for 46%. This information was provided by Transport Commissioner Niharika. The policy, she clarified, is targeting these vehicles in particular. Additionally, she shared that the Delhi government is actively attempting to switch all of these vehicles over to electric ones. Vehicles with two wheels will be eligible for a purchase bonus during the first three years, with amounts of INR 30,000, INR 20,000, and INR 10,000, respectively.
