Tata Motors inaugurated a registered vehicle scrapping facility (RVSF) in Kolkata, West Bengal. This is the company’s eighth such facility across the country and the third one in eastern India. Operated by Selladale Synergies India Pvt.

The Kolkata centre follows a fully digital and paperless operational model. It features cell-type dismantling for commercial vehicles and two- and three-wheelers and line-type dismantling for passenger vehicles. Dedicated stations handle the removal and disposal of tyres, batteries, fuel, oils, gases and other liquids.

Snehasis Chakraborty, Hon’ble Minister of Transport, Government of West Bengal, said, “The inauguration of Tata Motors’ Re.Wi.Re is a welcome step towards building a cleaner and more efficient future for our people. This initiative will also support the adoption of newer, safer energy-efficient vehicles and create circular economy opportunities within the transport sector. We appreciate Tata Motors, Selladale Synergies and all partners involved for bringing this initiative to our state.”

The scrapping process follows the procedures set by the national vehicle scrappage policy. Each vehicle undergoes a documented dismantling process aimed at ensuring proper handling and disposal of all parts and materials.

Tata Motors has similar scrapping centres in Jaipur, Bhubaneswar, Surat, Chandigarh, Delhi NCR, Pune and Guwahati. The Kolkata facility is expected to improve access to scrapping services for customers in eastern India.

Rajesh Kaul, Vice President & Business Head – Trucks, Tata Motors Commercial Vehicles, said, "Tata Motors is committed to driving sustainable mobility solutions while fostering a circular economy. The inauguration of West Bengal’s first Re.Wi.Re and the country’s eighth facility is a significant step in expanding our vehicle scrapping ecosystem. With the cumulative capacity of dismantling more than 1.3 lakh vehicles annually across eight Tata Motors RVSFs, we are proud to lead the way in transforming India’s vehicle scrapping ecosystem with a focus on safety, compliance and sustainability.”
