Bhubaneswar: All the vehicles of the Government of India or the Government of India’s undertaking that have completed 15 years will be scrapped, said Union Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari on Friday.
Gadkari informed that the Centre has sent a policy to that effect to all state governments. “State governments too should scrap 15 years old buses, trucks, and cars in departments that come under their ambit,” he said.
The Centre had announced the vehicle scrappage policy earlier this year. Prior to it in October, 2018, the Supreme Court prohibited using 15-year-old petrol and 10-year-old diesel vehicles in Delhi-NCR.
