The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has notified the Motor Vehicles (Registration and Functions of Vehicle Scrapping Facility) Amendment Rules, 2025. These rules aim to strengthen India’s vehicle scrapping policy and promote vehicle recycling. The amendment adds new provisions to allow recyclers from sectors like ship breaking, plastic recycling, and others to register and operate as part of a vehicle scrapping facility.
This step will make the process of vehicle recycling in India more organised, safe, and eco-friendly. It will also encourage the growth of vehicle scrapping facilities across the country and ensure compliance with the Motor Vehicles Act, 1988.
With the MoRTH notification 2025, the government is focusing on reducing pollution, reusing valuable materials, and promoting a cleaner environment. The vehicle scrapping rules are an important part of India’s green mobility and sustainable development efforts.
