Forced scraping of vehicles based on age only is unjustified
This relates to blanket order of Hon Supreme court and National Green Tribunal to scrap all vehicles by age, irrespective of its condition, which is unjustified and severe penalty for vehicle owners, specifically for residents of Delhi and NCR, based on hearsay with no solid data to prove these vehicles being the cause of pollution.
We have private cars of different age, not much used and in perfect condition, fully fit and meeting pollution control norms, so why we are forced to scrap those cars? One luxury diesel car done less then 30,000 km and fully fit and in perfect condition is being made to scrap after 10 years, causing serious loss to the owner, why?
My request is to relook at this situation, and amend this order to insist on fitness and condition of the vehicle, without blind order. It seems as the government has failed to enforce PUC on vehicles on road, due to this failure we all are being punishined unreasonably to forcibly scrap a good and fit vehicle, for no valid and justified reasons............ lets raise our voice on this please and Local Circles may take this up soon.... thanks more

true i have written the same to Mr. Nitin Gadkari website about old vehicles scrapping policy so for three months the scrapping policy was taken back but no action taken , the scrapping dealers are selling old electronics and equipment's, parts and other things scavenged from these cars to car mechanics (seen the same with my eyes ) and the owners get only Rs16 per kg ( petrol) / Rs 13 or less for diesel of total weight of vehicle as written on RC of the vehicle. Moreover not all vehicles from the same vicinity are picked up selected vehicles are picked based on influence of the person in the block or place where he or she lives, the more the influence of the person in the vicinity less likely of his vehicle being picked up and they are free to play around with scarping laws no scrap dealer picks their vehicles , MOREOVER no automobile dealer is honoring scrap certificate and giving no discounts its a farce , all citizens should go to supreme court and ask for maximum discounts on new vehicles especially E-vehicles for upto 50% of the total on-Road price and no less . more

The mass adoption of EVs has been called a revolution. We are in the early stages of a multi-year trend in the adoption of EVs. But EV revolution willnot be that easy. Rising cost of battery metals and the impact that it will have on affordability of EVs. Range, time to charge, decreased battery life in extreme temperatures, battery catching fire spontaneously are other issues. So fill your gas tank of your vehicles ..... while you still can. more

Pollution laws for contaiment thereof, i.e. rule of 10 years for diesel vehicles came into force in the year 2015 when in India it caused yearly around 74,000 premature deaths! What about those cars running since the year 1997, or even the SUV's such as Tata Qualis launched 15 and having sold by the years earlier, running on diesel? They including the customers who bought them had already contributed towards their share of pollution. Hence, what goes around, comes around. In fact, the rich have gotten away too easily, considering those affected above, mostly being the poor. Rich have their luxury bubbles saving them, but then there remain 90 crores, the relatively poor. No business cares about them. Government through policy measures must step in! more
