Under the arrangement, eligible customers can use Rosmerta’s registered vehicle scrapping facility (RVSF), where vehicles will be put through documentation, depollution and dismantling.
Force Motors said the facility will also separate and recover recyclable materials and issue scrappage documentation, including the Certificate of Deposit where applicable.
The company said the tie-up reinforces its commitment under a memorandum of understanding signed with the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) to support the Commercial Vehicle Replacement Scheme in the region.
In its statement, Force Motors said: “By encouraging responsible disposal and the recovery of recyclable materials from end-of-life vehicles, the Company aims to extend its sustainability approach beyond its manufacturing operations and support more responsible practices across the vehicle lifecycle.”
According to Rosmerta Recycling’s website, its facility in Manesar, Haryana, caters to the scrapping and recycling of end-of-life vehicles (ELV), as well as total loss and accidental vehicles.
The facility can process more than 6,000 scrap vehicles per month.
Force Motors managing director Prasan Firodia said: “As a responsible vehicle manufacturer, we believe our role extends beyond building and delivering vehicles. How a vehicle is managed at the end of its useful life matters too. Through this initiative, we want to encourage responsible scrappage and the recovery of valuable materials, while making it easier for our customers to choose authorised disposal channels.”
Established in 1958, Force Motors manufactures vehicles, aggregates, and components.
The company runs five manufacturing facilities across India and employs over 10,000 people.
