Let us tell you that under the new vehicle scrap policy of the Central Government, it has been decided to remove the vehicles which are not in good condition, now this decision is going to have a direct impact on lakhs of vehicle owners. But this question still comes to mind whether the old car will really be destroyed or can we save our car in some other way.

Big decision on 15-20 year old vehicles

According to the information received in the new scrap policy, it will be applied on 15 and 20 year old Punari commercial and public transport vehicles. In which these vehicles will have to undergo fitness test, if these vehicles fail in the test then they will be scrapped. The aim of the government with this big decision is clear to completely remove the old vehicles causing pollution from the country. So that the environment can be improved and accidents can also be reduced. After this decision, concern has increased among the common people and car lovers who have old cars or who are fond of keeping old cars.

Shock or relief for classic car lovers?

After this new policy, a question is surely coming in the minds of the vehicle lovers that will the classic car culture of India end with this decision? So let us tell you that the government has given some relief on this matter. The government has said in the decision that vehicles older than 50 years have been kept in the vintage category. If these vehicles are in good condition after all tests, then they will not be scrapped. But it was also added that instead of everyday use, they would be allowed to run only in shows, rallies or on special occasions. After the introduction of this rule, the real concern is going to be for vehicles 20 to 45 years old because these vehicles are neither completely new nor vintage, hence the new rule is going to affect them the most.

Fitness test is the real game changer

After the introduction of these new rules, many misconceptions are spreading among the people, one of which is that a 15 year old vehicle will be scrapped directly but it is not so. If we talk about the reality of the rule, there will be a fitness test of the vehicle after 15 years. If the vehicle passes the test, it can be re-registered and driven like any normal vehicle. Apart from this, there are many things that car owners can do like converting the vehicle to electric or preserving it as a showpiece. In such a situation, it is clear that with proper care you can save your favorite car.

Thousands of crores of rupees will be affected on the auto sector.

This new policy will affect the auto companies as well as the common people, which will increase the financial pressure on them. The reason behind this is said to be setting aside funds in advance for the vehicles to be scrapped in future. Due to which the industry may have an additional burden of thousands of crores of rupees. If we look at other countries, these policies are already implemented globally in countries like America, Europe, Japan and China, where incentives are given to remove or recycle old vehicles.

What should vehicle owners do?

If your vehicle also comes under this rule then there is no need to panic. In this process, first of all get your vehicle tested for fitness and pay attention to its maintenance. By using a right strategy, you can keep your car running for a long time.
