“>Re Sustainability Limited (ReSL) has established Re Carma as India’s largest organised end-of-life vehicle (ELV) recycling network. The flagship facility, located at the Reliance Model Economic Township in Jhajjar, Delhi NCR, has an installed capacity to dismantle more than 30,000 vehicles annually, covering passenger cars, commercial vehicles and earthmoving equipment.Through a pan-India franchise and partner network, Re Carma has built a recycling footprint with a cumulative national capacity of over 200,000 metric tonnes per year.
Growing need for ELV recycling
According to the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways, India has 5.1 million light motor vehicles older than 20 years and 3.4 million vehicles over 15 years old. The Central Pollution Control Board estimates that more than 20 million vehicles will reach end-of-life status by 2025.Re Carma is designed to integrate automated dismantling and recycling processes for plastics, ferrous and non-ferrous metals, critical minerals and precious metals, in line with national and international standards.
Policy compliance and partnerships
The network complies with India’s voluntary vehicle scrappage policy and issues government-recognised Certificates of Vehicle Scrapping (Form-4). It is also integrated with the VAHAN national database. Facilities operate under ISO 9001 for quality management, ISO 14001 for environmental management and ISO 45001 for occupational health and safety.Re Carma benefits from the reduction in GST on vehicles sent for scrapping, which encourages vehicle owners to dispose of end-of-life vehicles responsibly. ReSL has also been empanelled as the exclusive automobile Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) fulfilment partner for international commercial vehicle manufacturers.
Masood Mallick, Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer of Re Sustainability Limited, said India’s growing fleet of end-of-life vehicles represented both a challenge and an opportunity. He added that the Re Carma network was contributing to large-scale resource recovery by channelling metals, plastics and other materials back into the economy, reducing dependence on virgin extraction.
