Tata Motors has opened its second second Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) in Bhubaneswar, Odisha. Named as Re.Wi.Re – Recycle with Respect, this facility will cater to 10,000 end of life vehicles per year in a safe and environmentally friendly way.

This facility was inaugurated by Smt Tukuni Sahu, Hon’ble Minister of Water Resources, Commerce & Transport, Government of Odisha. Delegates from the Odisha Government and Tata Motors were also present. The Bhubaneswar facility will be developed and operated by Empreo Premium – Tata’s partner in this.

Re.Wi.Re Facility : More Details

The state-of-the-art Re.Wi.Re facility has been designed with an aim of dismantling end-of-life passenger and commercial vehicles of all brands while ensuring de-pollutioning. The plant boasts of fully digitalised hassle-free, paperless operations. Moreover there are dedicated stations for safe dismantling of components such as tyres, batteries, fuel, oils, liquids and gases. Not to mention, the vehicles go through a stringent documentation and dismantling process. Each of the cars is dismantled by a specially curated process for passenger and commercial vehicles.

What is a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility?

The RSVF or Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility has been designed to get the maximum value out of the scrap for future use. The process will also minimise waste generated. Further, this Re.Wi.Re. has been globally benchmarked and follows optimised recycling processes.

The carmaker is looking at setting up more such facilities across the country alongside their partners. These plants are set-up to help customers, share economic value generated and create employment opportunities while at the same time take care of the scrapping of vehicles.

Under the upcoming new scrapple policy, the Government is looking at offering new incentives to customers who scarp their old cars. The movement has already begun at government offices where older cars are being scrapped and making way for newer automobiles.
