Commercial vehicle manufacturer Ashok Leyland has partnered with Rosmerta Recycling to facilitate the responsible scrappage of end-of-life commercial vehicles across the country.
The partnership supports the Centre’s Voluntary Vehicle Modernisation Programme, which encourages the replacement of older, polluting vehicles with cleaner and more fuel-efficient alternatives.
Scrappage Network
Under the partnership, Ashok Leyland will leverage its nationwide dealer network to provide customers seamless access to Rosmerta Recycling’s authorised Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSFs).
The initiative will offer an end-to-end scrappage solution, including assistance with deregistration and other statutory documentation.
Rosmerta Recycling operates a network of authorised vehicle scrapping facilities across India.
Industry Initiative
Ashok Leyland National Sales Head Madhavi Deshmukh said “India has a significant population of ageing commercial vehicles, making an organised, transparent and customer-friendly scrappage ecosystem essential.”
“This collaboration reinforces Ashok Leyland’s commitment to sustainable mobility, circular economy principles and reducing emissions across the vehicle lifecycle,” she said.
Rosmerta comment
Rosmerta Group, President, Kartick Nagpal, said the partnership comes at a time when the government’s commercial vehicle replacement initiatives are expected to accelerate organised vehicle scrappage across the country.
“The mandatory scrappage of BS-III and older commercial vehicles through authorised RVSFs, covering an estimated 2.07 lakh vehicles in Delhi-NCR, is a significant step towards cleaner mobility and a stronger circular economy,” he said.
Customer Benefits
Under the partnership, Ashok Leyland customers will receive competitive value for their old vehicles, scrappage-linked OEM discounts on new vehicle purchases, and waivers on road tax and registration fees, wherever applicable under government policies.
Customers will also benefit from a professional and compliant deregistration process.
