Reaffirming its commitment to drive India’s transition towards sustainable mobility and circular economy, Tata Motors, India’s largest commercial vehicle manufacturer, today announced the opening of its state-of-the-art Re.Wi.Re (Recycle With Respect) Facility in Patna, Bihar.

Inaugurating the facility, Hon'ble Minister for Transport, Government of Bihar, Shri Damodar Rawat, said, "The launch of this Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facility in Patna is a significant step towards safer roads and a cleaner transport ecosystem for the state. In line with the National Vehicle Scrappage Policy, the facility will help phase out old and unfit vehicles in a scientific and responsible manner, while encouraging owners to move to newer, safer and more fuel-efficient vehicles. Modernising our vehicle fleet is essential to reducing emissions and improving road safety across Bihar. I congratulate Tata Motors and the Kalahanu Group on this initiative and look forward to more such efforts that advance safe and sustainable mobility in the state."

Speaking about the initiative, Mr. Rajesh Kaul, Vice President & Business Head – Trucks, Tata Motors Ltd., said, “The inauguration of our Patna facility marks another step in building a responsible, organised ecosystem for end-of-life vehicles across the country.

Guided by the principles of circular economy, we are equipped with the widest nationwide network of Registered Vehicle Scrapping Facilities to responsibly dismantle close to 2 lakh end-of-life vehicles annually. We deeply value the unwavering support and collaboration of our partners, state governments and local authorities in turning this vision into reality.”
