How will this benefit us?

• Tata Motors has agreed on providing all relevant information for responsible vehicle handling, starting with information about draining automotive fluids, the neutralization of airbags and seat belt tensioners and all the way up to the dismantling of components containing particularly hazardous substances.
• These recommendations will benefit the Indian AVSF (Authorised Vehicle Scrapping Facilities) to undertake more environmental friendly dismantling practices.
• This will also help us take another step forward towards a cleaner and greener environment.
• It also complements the government’s initiative towards Vehicle Scrappage Policy.

Speaking on this achievement, President and CTO, Tata Motors, Rajendra Petkar added a few points.

• Tata Motors has always been committed to following sustainable practices.
• All Tata products have high levels of recyclability potential to minimise material waste.
• Tata has restricted itself from using hazardous substances to a bare minimum.
• The brand is laying down the path for responsible dismantling and recycling at the vehicle’s end of life stage.
