The central government has provided incentives to states under the Special Assistance to States for Capital Investment (SASCI) 2025–26. An allocation of Rs 2,000 crore has been made for incentives related to vehicle scrapping. The release of incentives is linked to the implementation of motor vehicle tax concessions and the number of vehicles scrapped.

States are eligible for incentives for scrapping government vehicles older than 15 years. The incentive amount varies based on the number of vehicles scrapped during the financial year. In the case of non-government vehicles, incentives are provided on a per-vehicle basis depending on the volume of vehicles scrapped within the state.

The incentive framework also covers Automated Testing Stations. States can receive incentives based on the location of the station and its operational status, as outlined in the scheme guidelines.
