Tata Motors joins hand with Gujarat govt to set up vehicle scrapping centre

Auto major Tata Motors has joined hands with the Gujarat government to support the setting up of a vehicle scrapping facility in Ahmedabad. The carmaker has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with the state government through the ports and transport department. The company also said that it will set up the scrapping centre in association with a partner.

Vehicle scrappage policy has the potential of putting old polluting vehicles off roads to help environment as well as boost demand for new vehicles.
