A press release from Tata Motors noted that the state-of-the-art facility developed and operated by Tata Motors’ partner Ganganagar Vaahan Udyog has a capacity of 15,000 vehicles per annum and follows eco-friendly processes for the safe and sustainable dismantling of end-of-life vehicles.
Additionally, the facility is designed to dismantle all brands' end-of-life passenger and commercial vehicles and ensures de-pollution. It is fully digitalised for hassle-free, paperless operations and has dedicated stations for safely dismantling components such as tyres, batteries, fuel, oils, liquids and gases.
The vehicles undergo a stringent documentation and dismantling process, curated individually for passenger and commercial vehicle requirements.
