New Delhi, Feb 1 : While people around the country sat glued to their TV sets to follow the annual budget, 51-year-year-old Delhi resident Manisha Shrivastava was morose, following the announcement of the extension of vehicle scrapping policy to 20 years, as she had recently disposed of her car after using it for 15 years as per existing norms.
In 2019, the government had proposed amendments to motor vehicle norms to allow scrapping of vehicles older than 15 years in a bid to spur adoption of electrical vehicles. The new scrapping policy now requires private vehicles to undergo fitness tests after 20 years for disposal.
