- State-of-the-Art Facility to Process 15,000 End-of-Life Vehicles Annually
Tata Motors, India’s leading commercial vehicle manufacturer, has inaugurated its latest registered vehicle scrapping facility (RVSF) in Guwahati. Named ‘Re.Wi.Re – Recycle with Respect,’ this advanced facility is designed to dismantle up to 15,000 end-of-life vehicles annually using sustainable, eco-friendly processes. Operated in partnership with Axom Platinum Scrappers, this facility is capable of scrapping both passenger and commercial vehicles of all brands.
This marks Tata Motors’ seventh RVSF in India, following successful launches in Jaipur, Bhubaneswar, Surat, Chandigarh, the Delhi NCR region, and Pune.
The grand inauguration event was attended by esteemed dignitaries, including Shri. Jogen Mohan, Minister of Hill Areas Development, Transport, Co-operation, Indigenous and Tribal Faith & Culture; Shri. Ashok Singhal, Minister of Health, Family Welfare and Irrigation; Mr. Girish Wagh, Executive Director, Tata Motors; and Dr. Sanjive Narain, Director, Axom Automobiles. Senior officials from the Government of Assam, Tata Motors, and Axom Automobiles were also present at the event.
Advanced & Fully Digitalized Facility
Each Re.Wi.Re facility is fully digitalized, offering seamless and paperless operations. The Guwahati RVSF is equipped with cell-type and line-type dismantling stations for commercial and passenger vehicles. Specialized zones have been designed for the safe dismantling of critical components, including tyres, batteries, fuel, oils, liquids, and gases.
Every vehicle undergoes a meticulous documentation and dismantling process, aligning with India’s vehicle scrappage policy to ensure the responsible disposal of all components. The Re.Wi.Re initiative represents a groundbreaking step towards integrating sustainable practices into India’s automotive ecosystem.
Government Support for a Cleaner Assam
Speaking at the event, Shri. Jogen Mohan stated, “The launch of this advanced vehicle recycling facility will create valuable employment opportunities and drive economic growth in Assam. Additionally, it will ensure the safe disposal of end-of-life vehicles, lower carbon emissions, and contribute to a cleaner environment. I appreciate Tata Motors for pioneering such smart facilities in Assam.”
Shri. Ashok Singhal further emphasized, “The inauguration of Tata Motors’ Re.Wi.Re facility in Guwahati is a crucial step toward a cleaner, greener Assam. This modern facility will foster a sustainable vehicle disposal ecosystem while benefiting both the environment and the people of our state.”
Tata Motors’ Commitment to Sustainability
Highlighting Tata Motors’ role in sustainable vehicle scrapping, Mr. Girish Wagh stated, “With the launch of the Northeast’s first Re.Wi.Re facility in Guwahati, Tata Motors is taking a significant step in promoting responsible vehicle scrapping in the region. We are deeply committed to circular economy principles, ensuring sustainability through best practices.
