Eicher Trucks and Buses Rosmerta Partnership Enables NCR ELVs

Eicher-Rosmerta Partnership Targets Authorized NCR ELV Scrapping

The Eicher Trucks and Buses Rosmerta Partnership will support authorized scrapping and recycling of end-of-life commercial vehicles across the National Capital Region. Eicher Trucks and Buses, a business unit of VE Commercial Vehicles, has partnered with Rosmerta Auto Recycling Pvt Ltd to give dealers and customers access to a structured vehicle scrapping process through a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility. The initiative is focused on helping commercial vehicle owners retire aging vehicles through authorized channels while supporting depollution, dismantling and recovery of materials from end-of-life vehicles within the formal recycling ecosystem.

Formal Vehicle Scrapping Ecosystem Expands

The partnership comes as India’s formal vehicle scrappage ecosystem continues to expand. According to the companies, more than 4.3 lakh vehicles have been scrapped through Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities. The collaboration is designed to connect Eicher commercial vehicle owners with an authorized recycling process rather than leaving vehicle retirement outside the formal system. Rosmerta Auto Recycling will provide support for registration, documentation, vehicle depollution, dismantling and related regulatory documentation. The process also covers material recovery and processing, including metals and other automotive materials that can be reused or recycled after vehicles reach the end of their operating life.

How the Eicher-Rosmerta Scrapping Process Works

Under the arrangement, Rosmerta Auto Recycling Pvt Ltd will support vehicle owners through several stages of the authorized scrapping process. These activities include registration and documentation under the PARIVARTAN scheme, generation of digital Certificates of Deposit through the RVSF ecosystem, vehicle depollution and dismantling, and preparation of documentation required under applicable regulations. Where applicable, the process also includes generation and transfer of Extended Producer Responsibility credits from compliant end-of-life vehicle recycling. The facility will additionally recover and process metals and other automotive materials from dismantled commercial vehicles.

Scrapping Process and Material Recovery

The formal process combines regulatory documentation with physical treatment of end-of-life commercial vehicles. After the required registration and documentation steps, vehicles can undergo depollution and dismantling at the Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility. The process is intended to separate recoverable materials from vehicles while supporting compliant handling of end-of-life components. The companies said materials including steel and aluminum can be recovered for reuse and recycling. This approach connects vehicle retirement with material recovery and provides a defined pathway for commercial vehicle owners seeking to move aging vehicles into an authorized recycling system.

PARIVARTAN Scheme Benefits for NCR Vehicle Owners

The Vehicle Scrappage Policy provides a framework for Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities and Certificates of Deposit to encourage retirement of older vehicles through authorized channels. Under the PARIVARTAN scheme for the NCT region, transport vehicles purchased against a Certificate of Deposit are eligible for a 100% waiver of road tax or motor vehicle tax for 10 years, according to the company. The scheme also provides loan interest subvention of up to 5% of the interest payable on the replacement vehicle. These provisions form part of the incentive framework relevant to eligible vehicle owners replacing qualifying older transport vehicles through the authorized scrapping process.

Statements From Rosmerta and VE Commercial Vehicles

Kartick V. Nagpal, president of Rosmerta Group, said the partnership is intended to increase adoption of authorized vehicle scrapping among commercial vehicle owners in the NCR and facilitate dismantling and material recovery through the formal recycling ecosystem. S.S. Gill, chief commercial officer of VE Commercial Vehicles, said the initiative will give Eicher customers access to a structured scrapping process as they evaluate vehicle productivity, operating costs, safety and lifecycle costs. The companies said the partnership will help channel end-of-life commercial vehicles through authorized recycling facilities for depollution, dismantling and recovery of materials such as steel and aluminum.

Industry Impact & Outlook

The partnership connects commercial vehicle replacement decisions with India’s formal end-of-life vehicle recycling infrastructure, particularly for owners operating in the NCR. Its practical significance lies in combining authorized scrapping, regulatory documentation, Certificates of Deposit and material recovery within a structured process supported through an Eicher-linked customer and dealer network. For the commercial vehicle sector, broader use of authorized facilities can support more formal treatment of aging vehicles and improve recovery of recyclable automotive materials. The next stage will depend on adoption by eligible vehicle owners, continued operation of RVSFs and the application of available policy incentives to qualifying replacement vehicles.
