Delhi-NCR Vehicle Scrappage Scheme Could Boost Commercial Truck Demand by 5%
The Delhi-NCR vehicle scrappage scheme, valued at Rs 9,590 crore, requires owners of BS-III and older commercial vehicles to scrap them at authorized centers, while BS-IV owners can scrap or sell vehicles outside the region. To benefit, buyers must purchase BS-VI-compliant or electric vehicles. Nomura estimates the scheme could boost demand for medium, heavy, and light commercial vehicles by around 5%, depending on actual scrappage. Incentives include manufacturer discounts, interest subvention, and fuel vouchers, with Tata Motors, Ashok Leyland, and Eicher Motors likely beneficiaries.
