Complete Guide to Setting Up a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) Plant in India

Setting up a Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility (RVSF) in India requires approvals and compliance with guidelines issued by the Ministry of Road Transport & Highways (MoRTH) under the Vehicle Scrapping Policy, 2020 and its subsequent amendments. In addition to MoRTH approval, entrepreneurs must also obtain permissions from the State Transport Department, Pollution Control Board, and other local industrial authorities.

Establishing a vehicle scrapping facility involves multiple stages, including business setup, environmental clearances, operational approvals, and compliance management. Proper planning and technical guidance are essential to ensure smooth registration and long-term operation of the plant.

For professional consultation and end-to-end assistance in setting up an RVSF plant in India, the EnviroXperts team can support you throughout the licensing, approval, and compliance process.
