Tata

forward in its commitment towards sustainable mobility with the launch of
Re.Wi.Re – Recycle with Respect, its first Registered Vehicle Scrapping

Shri Nitin Gadkari, this state-of-the-art facility has a capacity of
15,000 vehicles per annum and follows world-class, eco-friendly processes for
safe and sustainable dismantling of end-of-life vehicles. It is developed and
operated by Tata Motors’ partner Ganganagar Vaahan Udyog Pvt. Ltd. to scrap
end-of-life passenger and commercial vehicles of all brands.
Inaugurating Tata Motors’ maiden Re.Wi.Re RVSF, Hon’ble Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways, Government of India, Shri Nitin Gadkari said, “The National Vehicle Scrappage Policy was introduced with the aim to promote circular economy by creating an ecosystem for phasing out unfit and polluting vehicles and to achieve a lower carbon footprint in the country by replacing them with greener and more fuel efficient vehicles. I congratulate Tata Motors for setting-up this quality facility that is at par with global standards. We are working towards positioning India as a vehicle scrapping hub for the entire South Asian region and need more such state-of-the-art scrapping and recycling units in India.”
Speaking
on the launch of Re.Wi.Re., Mr. Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors,
said, “At Tata Motors, we are committed to delve into every aspect of
mobility to make it greener and sustainable. The inauguration of this RVSF
(Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility) heralds a new beginning in 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. We appreciate the visionary
efforts of Shri Gadkari ji in enabling the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy
and look forward to setting-up Re.Wi.Re facilities across the country in
collaboration with our partners. These decentralised facilities will benefit
the customers, share the economic value generated, create employment while
addressing the need of scrapping vehicles in every part of the country in an
eco-friendly manner.
