Rajasthan Vehicle Scrapping Policy- 2025
1. Introduction
Rajasthan stands at a strategic inflection point in its automotive and environmental trajectory.
With a rapidly expanding automotive sector and a growing stock of End-of-Life Vehicles
(ELVs), the State faces both a challenge and an opportunity. As per data from the Ministry of
Road Transport and Highways, around 1.2 crore vehicles in India lack valid registration or
fitness certificates, of which approximately 6 lakh are in Rajasthan alone. This number is
projected to rise by 2.3 lakh annually over the next decade.
The State’s robust industrial ecosystem, comprising over 120 automotive and auto component
manufacturing units—including major players like Honda, Hero MotoCorp and Ashok
Leyland—creates strong synergies for the development of a formal vehicle scrapping and
recycling industry. The increasing demand for raw materials such as steel, aluminium, rubber,
plastic, and glass further enhances this potential.
Additionally, the Rajasthan Electric Vehicle Policy (2022) is driving the transition from
internal combustion engine (ICE) vehicles to electric vehicles (EVs), making the
establishment of a sustainable scrapping infrastructure inevitable. This transition supports the
broader goal of a circular economy by enabling efficient material recovery, minimizing
environmental depletion, and integrating recycled materials back into the production cycle.
In this context, the Government of Rajasthan has developed the Rajasthan Vehicle Scrapping
Policy, 2025—a forward-looking initiative to formalise the scrappage ecosystem, support
sustainable mobility and advance circularity in the automotive sector. This transition
supports the broader goal of a circular economy by enabling efficient material recovery,
minimizing environmental harm, and reducing emissions by an estimated 1–1.5 tons of CO2
भाग 1(ख) राजè थान राज-पğ, जनवरȣ 02, 2026 16758
per vehicle scrapped. The policy aims to create a quantifiable reduction in vehicular
pollution through time- bound ELV retirement.
2. Vision
To remove unfit transport and non-transport vehicles from the State and enable a robust and
high-value ecosystem that supports the growth of sustainable vehicle recycling and scrapping
value chain in Rajasthan.
To systematically phase out unfit transport and non-transport vehicles and enable a robust,
transparent, and traceable scrappage ecosystem aligned with sustainable manufacturing and
environmental recovery goals.
With the endeavor of promoting circular economy in the automotive sector, the Vehicle
Scrapping Policy, 2025, will undertake targeted interventions and incentives for ecosystem
players.
3. Objectives
The state shall strive to:
3.1
Encourage the establishment of Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSFs),
for formalising the unorganised recycling sector, reducing vehicular pollution, alleviating
public health and enhancing road and passenger safety. To enable seamless integration of
scrappage operations with national vehicle databases(e.g., VAHAN), facilitating automatic
flagging of ELVs for regulatory enforcement.
3.2
To promote the development of Eco-Parks and integrated recycling hubs that
support circular economy linkages between scrappers, recyclers and manufacturing
industries.
3.3
To augment the availability of low-cost recycled materials for use in the
automotive, steel and electronic manufacturing sectors.
