Big changes ahead for Indian carmakers on recycling steel

From April, automobile manufacturers must recycle at least 8% of steel used in vehicles sold in 2005-06. This increases to 18% by 2035-36. They must ensure safe collection and recycling of end-of-life vehicles. They need to purchase EPR certificates from scrapping facilities and create consumer awareness. There are currently 82 Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities in the country.
