The scrappage policy, explained simply

India’s vehicle-scrappage framework encourages retiring old, polluting vehicles through fitness testing and incentives for scrapping and replacing them.

How it works

Older vehicles must pass fitness/emissions checks to stay on the road; scrapping an end-of-life vehicle at an authorised centre can earn a certificate that unlocks benefits on a new purchase.

Incentives to know

Benefits can include road-tax rebates and manufacturer discounts against a scrappage certificate. Exact amounts vary by state and brand — confirm locally before you scrap.
