First vehicle scrapping facility of Odisha to become operational by month-end Bhubaneswar, Mar 23 (KNN)
Odisha's first vehicle scrapping unit set up by the Empreo Premium to begin operations in Khurda district by end of March 2023.
As per reports, Empreo Premium has nearly completed all the formalities to start its registered vehicle scrapping facility (RVSF) in Khurda's Pitapalli.
In the first phase, 642 government vehicles will go to the scrapping unit.
The new facility will also give a push to the government's efforts to regularise the current informal and unorganised vehicle recycling industry in the state, said sources in the Commerce and Transport department.
To put a brake on air pollution, the Centre had proposed the state government to scrap over 18 lakh vehicles aged over 15 years and not having fitness certificates.
Empreo Premium had submitted an application on National Single Window System to start its vehicle scrapping facility. The applications were then sent to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways and Odisha's State Transport Authority.
“We applied for about 22 clearances from various government agencies like Odisha Fire and Emergency Service, Forest department, Industrial Infrastructure Development Corporation and others,” Empreo Premium's plant head MD Azhar told TNIE.
According to Odisha Motor Vehicles (Registration and Functions of Vehicle Scrapping Facility) Policy, 2022, notified on November 30 last year, the minimum land required for two/three wheeler scrapping yard should be one acre.
