About Course

The objective of the Indian ELV directive is to diminish the ecological impact of discarded vehicles, promoting sustainable practices in the automotive sector by setting targets for vehicle component reuse, recycling, and recovery. The following are updates to this regulation in India:

  • The Automotive Industry Standard (AIS) is applicable to M1, L1, and L2 vehicle categories produced or imported for sale in India, complying with the Central Motor Vehicles (CMV) Rule 126. The directive mandates the promotion of registered vehicle scrapping facilities (RVSF) alongside its enforcement.
  • Following discussions between the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) and OEMs, the government plans to implement vehicle-type approval for RRR (Recyclability, Recoverability, and Reusability) and HMR tracking, possibly starting from April 2024.
  • The recently updated AIS 129 focuses on two key aspects: the collection and dismantling of ELVS and the restriction of heavy metals, with vehicle types required to conform to Recyclability, Recoverability, and Reusability targets, set at 80% or 85% by mass for L, M, and N category-type vehicles.
  • Many OEMs have already embraced the IMDS for material declaration to comply with AIS 129 ELV standards, which specifically targets four chemical substances: Cadmium, Hexavalent Chromium, Mercury, and Lead.
  • India is poised for a scrappage revolution with amendments to ELV standards. The proposal entails de-registering commercial vehicles without a fitness certificate after 15 years, imposing higher fees for fitness tests and certifications beyond that timeframe. Private vehicles may face de-registration after 20 years or non-renewal of registration, with increased re-registration fees applicable 15 years after initial registration. Government vehicles could be de-registered and scrapped after 15 years. An incentive scheme encourages vehicle owners to scrap old vehicles through authorized centers, providing them with a scrapping certificate
