Tata Motors inaugurates Re.Wi.Re - advanced vehicle scrapping facility

Tata Motors announced the opening of its state-of-the-art Re.Wi.Re (Recycle With Respect) Facility in Patna, Bihar. Inaugurated by Minister of Transport, Government of Bihar, Damodar Rawat, this registered vehicle scrappage facility (RVSF) is designed to safely and responsibly dismantle end-of-life vehicles across all brands and all vehicle segments, including two- and three-wheelers.

Spread across 5.5 acres, the Patna RVSF is operated by Kalahanu Bothra Group and has a capacity to safely dismantle up to 15,000 vehicles per annum.

Speaking about the initiative, Rajesh Kaul, Vice President & Business Head – Trucks, Tata Motors , noted, “The inauguration of our Patna facility marks another step in building a responsible, organised ecosystem for end-of-life vehicles across the country. The National Vehicle Scrappage Policy has created a structured framework to phase out unfit and polluting vehicles and, through well-designed incentives, encourages owners to transition to cleaner and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Guided by the principles of circular economy, we are equipped with the widest nationwide network of Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities to responsibly dismantle close to 2 lakh end-of-life vehicles annually. We deeply value the unwavering support and collaboration of our partners, state governments and local authorities in turning this vision into reality.”

With this expansion, Tata Motors now operates 12 vehicle-scrapping centres, including facilities in Jaipur, Bhubaneswar, Surat, Chandigarh, Delhi NCR, Pune, Guwahati, Raipur, Lucknow, Kolkata, Ahmedabad and Patna.

Each Re.Wi.Re facility is fully digitalised, with all its operations seamless and paperless. Equipped with cell-type dismantling for commercial vehicles, two-wheelers and three-wheelers, and line-type dismantling for passenger vehicles, there are dedicated stations for the safe dismantling of various components, including tyres, batteries, fuel, oils, liquids, and gases. Every vehicle undergoes a meticulous documentation and dismantling process designed specifically to meet the responsible scrapping requirements of passenger and commercial vehicles, guaranteeing safe disposal of all components as per the nation’s vehicle scrappage policy.
