PM launches Vehicle Scrappage Policy

Prime Minister launched the Voluntary Vehicle-Fleet Modernization Program (VVMP), also known as the Vehicle Scrapping Policy. The vehicle scrappage policy will bring in investments of around INR 10,000 crore (€1.2 billion) to set up 450-500 Automated Testing Stations (ATS) and 60-70 Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSF) across the country. A single window clearance portal is being developed where the applications for ATS and RVSF will be catered through a single portal within 60 days. A vehicle will be declared as End-of-Life or unfit if it fails the automated fitness test, the allowed retest and reinspection test if ordered by the appellate authorities.
