- Ashok Leyland Rosmerta Recycling Partnership streamlines commercial vehicle scrappage.
- Customers receive incentives alongside simplified vehicle deregistration support.
Ashok Leyland announced on July 6 that it has entered into a partnership with Rosmerta Recycling to make the scrappage process for end-of-life commercial vehicles more efficient through authorised Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities (RVSFs) across India. Leveraging Ashok Leyland's extensive dealer network, the collaboration will help customers access authorised scrapping services while ensuring a smooth and compliant process from vehicle surrender to the completion of mandatory formalities.
As part of the collaboration, customers will receive comprehensive assistance throughout the scrappage journey, including vehicle deregistration and completion of all statutory documentation. In addition, eligible vehicle owners will benefit from competitive scrappage valuations, original equipment manufacturer (OEM) discounts when purchasing new commercial vehicles, and waivers on road tax and registration fees wherever applicable under prevailing government regulations. These measures are intended to simplify the transition from older vehicles to newer, compliant models.
The initiative supports the objectives of the Government of India's Voluntary Vehicle Modernisation Program and also aligns with the Naya Safar Scheme applicable in the Delhi-NCR region. Through this partnership, both organisations aim to encourage responsible disposal of ageing commercial vehicles while helping customers take advantage of government-backed incentives designed to accelerate fleet modernisation.
