The auto manufacturer further claimed that this facility is completely digitalized for paperless operations and is capable of the safe dismantling of important components such as tyres, batteries, fuel, oils, liquids and gases. Tata Motors is not the only auto manufacturer in India that launched its own dedicated vehicle scrapping facility, as Maruti Suzuki had previously launched a similar facility.

Speaking about the launch of this facility, Nitin Gadkari said that the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy was introduced to promote the circular economy by creating an ecosystem to phase out unfit and polluting vehicles to achieve a lower carbon footprint in India and replacing them with greener and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Speaking on the launch of Re.Wi.Re., Girish Wagh, executive director of Tata Motors, said that this registered vehicle scrapping facility heralds a new beginning in the responsible scrapping of end-of-life vehicles. “With globally benchmarked and optimised recycling processes, we intend to yield maximum value from the scrap for future use and minimise waste for the overall betterment," he added.
