Force Motors, Rosmerta Recycling partner

Rosmerta Auto Recycling Pvt. Ltd. has partnered with Force Motors Limited to facilitate the authorised scrapping of End-of-Life (ELV) vehicles. The partnership will give Force Motors’ customers access to Rosmerta’s Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF), providing a defined route for retiring vehicles that have reached the end of their useful life.

Under the partnership, eligible vehicles will be taken through the required documentation and scrapping process at Rosmerta’s facility. This will include depollution and dismantling, followed by the segregation and recovery of materials that can be recycled.

Especially for commercial vehicle owners, vehicle replacement is closely linked to the efficiency and upkeep of their fleets. Once a vehicle reaches the end of its useful life, ensuring that it is scrapped through an authorised facility is equally important. It allows the vehicle to be taken off the road through the appropriate process while giving its components and materials an opportunity to re-enter the recycling chain.

The partnership will also help bring greater awareness among Force Motors customers about authorised vehicle scrapping and the benefits of choosing registered facilities over informal disposal. The companies will work towards making the process easier for vehicle owners looking to retire their ageing vehicles.

Commenting on the partnership, Prasan Firodia, Managing Director, Force Motors Limited, said, “A vehicle goes through several stages during its operating life, and responsible disposal is an important part of that journey. Through our association with Rosmerta Recycling, we aim to provide our customers with an authorised and dependable option when their vehicles reach the end of their useful life. This also complements our broader sustainability efforts, which include improving resource efficiency, reducing waste and promoting responsible recycling across our operations. We hope this partnership will encourage greater awareness and adoption of organised vehicle scrappage and recycling.”

Kartick V. Nagpal, President, Rosmerta Group, said, “The success of vehicle scrappage depends not only on having the right infrastructure, but also on making that infrastructure accessible to vehicle owners. Our partnership with Force Motors gives their customers a clear route to an authorised scrapping facility. Once a vehicle reaches our facility, we can safely depollute and dismantle it and recover materials such as steel and aluminium for recycling. This helps ensure that the value in an old vehicle is not lost and can find its way back into the wider manufacturing cycle.”

A simpler route for vehicle scrappage

Through the partnership, eligible Force Motors customers will be able to access Rosmerta’s RVSF for the end-of-life processing of their vehicles.

The facility will support:

• Processing of eligible End-of-Life commercial vehicles

• Assistance with vehicle and ownership documentation

• Generation of the Certificate of Deposit (CoD), wherever applicable

• Depollution and dismantling of vehicles

• Segregation and recovery of recyclable materials

• Compliance with applicable vehicle scrappage and recycling requirements

• Processing of recovered materials for recycling and further use

• Generation and transfer of Extended Producer Responsibility (EPR) credits, where applicable

The process provides vehicle owners with documentation at different stages of scrappage and ensures that vehicles are handled at an authorised facility rather than being disposed of through informal channels.
