Balanced News: Greenlit: Specialised Vehicles for Defence, Law Enforcement Exempt from Govt’s New Scrapping Policy

A new scrapping policy for government vehicles across India will be implemented from April 1 as the union ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) has issued a gazette notification to do away with all vehicles older than 15 years that the authorities owned. This Tuesday, MoRTH issued the gazette notification, saying the new rules will be called the ‘Central Motor Vehicles (First Amendment) Rules, 2023’ and will come into force from April 1, 2023. The notification said that the renewal of certificates of registration of government vehicles will expire after the lapse of 15 years from the date of the initial registration of a vehicle.
