India is reeling under high levels of air pollution, which is why the National Green Tribunal (NGT) and Supreme Court have passed stringent regulations, which have considerably reduced the number of years an automobile can be driven for. For instance, in Delhi/NCR, the maximum age of petrol and diesel vehicles has been brought down to 15 and 10 years, respectively.
This factor is predicted to propel the Indian end-of-life vehicle and dismantling market, which generated $3,474.0 million revenue in 2019, at a 17.2% CAGR between 2020 and 2030 (forecast period).
Ferrous-Metal Components To Contribute Highest Revenue to Market till 2030
Till 2030, the ferrous metal category would continue dominating the Indian end-of-life vehicle and dismantling market, because ferrous-metal components make up for around 70% of an average vehicle. These components can be easily extracted by using a strong magnet, and they also remain in high demand due to their easy reusability factor.
The four-wheeler division held a significant share in the Indian end-of-life vehicle and dismantling market in 2019, owing to economic growth. With an increase in their disposable income, a rising number of people in the nation are purchasing four-wheeled automobiles for personal as well as commercial use. Once they reach the end of their life, they will serve as the input for junkyards.
Maharashtra was the most productive state in the Indian end-of-life vehicle and dismantling market in the past, as the high purchasing power in the state results in a heavy sale of automobile, which, over time, are sent for scrapping. In the coming years, the NCT of Delhi division would grow the fastest in the industry, on account of its high air pollution levels, which has impelled the government to reduce the vehicles’ maximum service life.
