Eicher Trucks and Buses partners with Rosmerta Auto Recycling for authorised scrapping across NCR
Eicher Trucks and Buses has tied up with Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility Rosmerta Auto Recycling to give its dealers and customers across the NCR a formal route to retire end-of-life commercial vehicles.
- over 4.3 lakh
- 100% for 10 years
- up to 5% of interest payable on the replacement vehicle
What Happened
Rosmerta Auto Recycling Pvt. Ltd. (RARPL), described as one of India's leading Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSFs), has entered into a strategic partnership with Eicher Trucks and Buses, a business unit of VE Commercial Vehicles (VECV). The partnership covers the authorised scrapping and recycling of end-of-life (ELV) commercial vehicles across the National Capital Region (NCR). Under it, Eicher Trucks and Buses' dealers and customers gain access to a structured, transparent and compliant vehicle scrapping process. The aim is to help commercial vehicle owners retire ageing trucks and buses through authorised channels while supporting fleet renewal and responsible resource recovery.
4.3 lakhvehicles
More than this many have already been scrapped as India's vehicle scrappage ecosystem gains momentum.
- Registration and documentation support under the PARIVARTAN scheme
- Digital Certificate of Deposit (CoD) generation through the authorised RVSF ecosystem
- Scientific dismantling and depollution of end-of-life commercial vehicles
- Generation and transfer of EPR credits from compliant ELV recycling, as applicable
- Documentation and regulatory support in line with applicable MoRTH and environmental guidelines
- Recovery and processing of metals and other valuable automotive materials for reuse and recycling
- 100% waiver of road tax / MV tax for 10 years for transport vehicles purchased against a Certificate of Deposit
- Loan interest subvention of up to 5% of the interest payable on the replacement vehicle
“The Government of India has taken important steps over the last few years to build a formal and credible vehicle scrappage ecosystem, from establishing Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities to introducing Certificates of Deposit and, more recently, strengthening the Extended Producer Responsibility framework for End-of-Life Vehicles. The next step is to translate this policy momentum into greater adoption on the ground. Our partnership with Eicher Trucks and Buses is aimed at doing precisely that for commercial vehicle owners in NCR. By bringing an authorised, transparent and structured scrapping journey closer to dealers and customers, we can make vehicle retirement simpler while ensuring that vehicles are scientifically dismantled and valuable materials are recovered and returned to the circular economy.”
“We appreciate the Government's initiative to incentivise customers to responsibly retire old vehicles. For Eicher truck and bus customers, this is particularly relevant, as they look to balance vehicle productivity, operating efficiency, safety and lifecycle costs. We are happy to associate with Rosmerta Auto Recycling to provide Eicher customers with access to a structured scrapping ecosystem.”
The partnership is framed around vehicle lifecycle management and circularity: routing end-of-life commercial vehicles through an authorised RVSF is meant to move disposal away from fragmented and informal channels towards a documented, traceable and environmentally responsible process. Scientific dismantling enables the recovery of steel, aluminium and other automotive materials, reducing material wastage and creating opportunities for those resources to re-enter productive supply chains. The two partners describe the tie-up as a step towards converting policy intent into large-scale adoption as India's vehicle scrappage infrastructure expands, with OEMs, dealers, vehicle owners and authorised recyclers all involved.
Why this matters
For truck and bus operators in the National Capital Region, the tie-up puts an authorised, documented scrapping route — and the policy incentives attached to it — within reach through their existing Eicher dealer. It also supports India's wider scrappage push, which is trying to move vehicle disposal away from fragmented, informal channels and recover materials such as steel and aluminium.
