In India, there has been an increase in the vehicle scrapping business, particularly due to the inclusion of new guidelines and policies by the government, especially the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy that was introduced in the year 2021. The policy, on the other hand, considers the stripping of the vehicles that are not up to the standards in order to discourage environmental degradation, increase fuel efficiency, and promotion of the automotive sector. Vehicle Scrapping Business are focused on assessment and destruction of end-of-life vehicles, dismantling the vehicle and reusing certain assemblies, such as metals like steel and aluminum and rubber, for manufacturing automotive products in a closed loop. This is complemented by government incentives for scrapping old cars and issuing rebates on new ones, which further encourages the formation of organized scrapping systems. This policy presents very positive chances for the firms that are engaged in dismantling, recycling and disposal services, however creating a viable industry, and sensitizing the society about the issue, has its hurdles. There are these shifts, with current automobile manufacturers, start-ups on this field, even investors and many more participants are encroaching in this field to extract benefits from the expansion of this market that is predicted to grow enormous leaps over the next ten years.
